Francisco, San Diego, Portland, Puget Sound and Vancouver, Honolulu, 
the Port of Los Angeles, San Pedro, Tacoma, Redondo, Nanaimo, and 
Burrant Inlet. Three folding maps: San Francisco Bay (colored), 
Harbors of Washington State and Vancouver (partially colored), and 
the San Diego Ports. Black and white full page photographs include: 6 
of tug boats (Fearless, Relief, Active, Vigilant, Alert, Reliance), 2 
of San Diego, and 1 each of Nanaimo and Honolulu. An additional plate 
of the San Francisco wharf in the 14 page advertising section.

Very good or better, spine darkened with minor wear to the tips, some 
maps colored, owner's name stamped on preliminaries, a tiny marginal 
tear at inner fold on two maps. A very handsome copy.  [31128] $850.00
