1919 New England Almanac and Farmer's Friend - Ship Navigation - Lighthouses, Buoys and Beacons - Long Island Sound Nautical Chart - Farm Crop Planting - New London, Connecticut

New England Almanac & Farmer's Friend, 1919 edition, published for New England sailors and farmers by L. E. Daboll, of New London, Connecticut. This 80-page Almanac contains navigation aids including daily tables of daylight hours, moonlight, and tides; a sequential list of light houses, buoys and beacons from New York to Maine; a list of equipped rescue stations; explanation of US Weather Bureau weather flags and signals; and a fold-out nautical chart showing all of the navigation lights on Long Island Sound.

AND even more - numerous articles and paragraphs with crop planting information; US postage rate tables; lunar and solar eclipses; interesting trivia; and other miscellaneous topics of interest. The 1914 edition also contains instructions for filing for the new Federal Income Tax just enacted in 1913.

Interspersed with all this material are numerous jokes and stories, as well as interesting advertising for a wide range of 1914 products and services, both nautical and general, in New London and elsewhere in Connecticut. (Pictured is one example, the back-cover illustrated advertisement for ship salvage services by a New London company.)

Soft cover booklet in very good shape for its age. Pages are firmly attached to staples. Upper right cover corner is missing. The front cover is slightly curled on the lower right corner.

Minor tears along the cover edges, but no missing text. Upper left cover corner is detached from the spline to the first staple. Front and back have some staining and are brown with age. Some foxing on the interior pages. Some pages are creased or curled on the edges.
