first edition. Although the authenticity of much of this narrative has been questioned, Morrell's 1822 sealing voyage to the Falklands and around Cape Horn did extend into the Antarctic regions and his later voyages included stops along the Northwest Coast and California. "Morrell's voyage in the Wasp from the Falkland Islands, his search for the non-existent Aurora Islands, visits to the Kerguelen Islands, South Sandwich Islands, and the Weddell Sea are those of principal Antarctic interest"--Rosove 232.A1; Spence 814; Hill 1186; Sabin 50778; Howes M818.
From the library of Dr. John M. Levinson, with his bookplate.
