[ANGLING] [FLEISCHMANN, MAX C.]. A landlubber's narrative of the nineteen hundred and three cruise of the auxiliary yacht "Haida."
Cincinnati: Ebbert & Richardson Co., 1903. First edition. Publisher's decorative cloth. 10 12/ x 8 inches (26.5 x 20.5 cm); 51, [1] pp., illustrated after photographs. Covers a little soiled, rubbed; several neatly repaired tears, one just entering text.
An apparently rare account (WorldCat records one copy only), written perhaps by Fleischmann himself, though more likely one of the three passengers listed: Denton J. Stevens, Edward A. Hart and Harry Stephens (there was an extensive ship's company, in addition). The yacht voyaged from New York to Halifax, thence to the Bras D'Or Lakes and Newfoundland. Trout and salmon were fished at various locations along the yacht's route, and some shooting was done along the way, though by and large this seems to have been principally an angling excursion. This was Fleischmann's first yacht (he apparently built 22 over his lifetime, at least one of which is still afloat); he was a devoted traveler and sportsman, with the resources from his yeast fortune to devote to his pursuits.
C Estate of Arnold 'Jake' Johnson
