Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from General Examination of the Atlantic Ocean: With Nautical Directions for Avoiding Hurricanes and a Memoir on the Currents of the Atlantic
For the length of a great number of voyages in the At lantic Ocean, we have made use of a manuscript which M. Baussy, hydrographic engineer-in-chief of the depot of the marine, had kindly placed at our disposal. To him we would extend our warmest thanks]. It is from this document that we have given, when possible, the length of the greater part of the voyages.
