A History of Submarine Warfare Along the New Jersey Shore – WWII Civil War
A History of Submarine Warfare Along the New Jersey Shore – WWII Civil War A History of Submarine Warfare Along the Jersey Shore by Joseph G. Bilby and Harry Ziegler The charming book features a unique look at the history of New Jersey, lots of interesting information, history and local lore. The ingenious people of the Garden State were instrumental in the early development of the submarine. The first American submarine sank off Fort Lee in 1776, and the first successful one adopted by the U.S. Navy was invented by Paterson’s John Holland at the end of the nineteenth century. Those early vessels were tested in the Passaic River and on the Jersey City waterfront. Today, the only surviving Union Civil War submarine, built in Newark, sits in the National Guard Militia Museum in Sea Girt. In 1918, the technology pioneered there was turned against the Jersey Shore when U-151 went on a one-day ship-sinking rampage. A World War II U-boat offensive torpedoed numerous ships off the coast, leaving oil-soaked beaches strewn with wreckage. Authors Joseph G. Bilby and Harry Ziegler reveal the remarkable history of submarines off the New Jersey coastline. Copyright 2016 Pages: 128 pages Publisher: The History Press The softcover book measures approx. 9 by 6 inches. The cover is nice with some minor rubbing and wear, it is very nice. The spine end has some very light wear. The boards and corners are in good shape. The hinges and binding are tight and strong. The pages are bright and clean with some very minor wear and foxing, book is very nice. Inventory: 0424AC046

My Friend Mr. Leakey ( HC 1938)
There are three stories that deal with magical Mr. Leakey and his adventures and they make up the bulk of the book. In addition there are three other stories that are magical or fanciful in nature. The writing is superb. There is an inspired wit and brilliant imagination at work here. JS Haldane was a well-respected scientist in his day, and the fantastical elements in his children’s book are often accompanied by real scientific data
