Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Surface Japan, 1911: Short Notes of a Swift Survey The approach to the island empire of Nippon comes as a soft surprise. For days the yacht-like steamer has been plowing the North Pacific in fog and sprinkle, with now and then a bit of sea brisk enough to moisten the decks. There is little distraction and small desire for it. As the steamer turns more and more toward the polar star the traveler learns that a straight line is not the shortest between two points when crossing the Western sea, but can be comforted by the thought that no one else knew it until about forty years ago, when an unscientific navigator figured out that a ship logged less by going up and then down.
