I have here for sale a beautifully illustrated book entitled TO NORWAY AND THE NORTH CAPE IN 'BLUE DRAGON II' 1911-1912 by C C Lynam.  It is a first edition published by Sidgwick & Jackson Ltd, London in 1913.  It is illustrated with 16 colour and 48 b/w plates as well as 47 b/w illustrations in the text.  There are also 6 maps.  As a yachtsman Lynam had a touch of genius. His cruises in Blue Dragon I, II, and III up the west coast of Scotland and across the North Sea to Norway and the North Cape became legendary. In recognition of the latter, a distance of 1387 miles, he was awarded the Challenge Cup of the Royal Cruising Club. 

Mid blue cloth hardboards with gilt detail and lettering to the front board.  There is a small circular photographic image to the centre of the board.  Gilt lettering and panelling to the spine.  Some chipping to head and tail and corners slightly bumped.  Blue map endpapers. The front free endpaper is missing.  Pages rough cut, a little sunned but firm and clean.  232 pages, 25 x 17 cm.
