Cover worn and soiled. Front board weak and restrengthened with glue. Felix Riesenberg (9 April 1879 - 19 November 1939) was an American maritime officer and writer of maritime professional, historical, and fictional literature. He attended the New York Nautical School graduating in the class of 1897. Afterward, he secured a position as a deck officer in the merchant marine, being part of the Coast and Geodetic Survey and also serving in the Naval Reserve until 1909. Riesenberg was hired by Walter Wellman to be a part of the support crew in an unsuccessful attempt to reach the North Pole by airship in the summer of 1906. He was with Wellman the following year as the navigator aboard the three man airship America in a second failed attempt to reach the North Pole in 1907. Riesenberg worked as a civil Engineer for New York State from 1913 to 1915 and then again from 1920 to 1922. In the interim, he was the Chief Officer of the United States Shipping Board. Riesenberg was the superintendent of the New York Nautical School on two occasions, from 1917 to 1919 as Commander of the barkentine "Newport" and again from 1923 to 1924. Riesenberg was also a prolific author, publishing a textbook, Standard Seamanship for the Merchant Service, as well as several maritime historical works and novels. Riesenberg published his memoir Living Again in 1937. Derived from a Kirkus review: Riesenberg has told the story of Cape Horn from the days of Magellan's voyage, those who followed him and on down through the age of sail. Until the completion of the Panama Canal the only route to the Pacific from the Atlantic involved passage of Cape Horn, so that all sailing ships weathered the Horn or left their bones to rot on its treacherous coast line. This is grand reading and deserves a prominent place with famous classics of the sea. Well documented, it is a fine source of information.
