reconstructed 'Great Republic' made her famous run from New York to San
Francisco in 1857, in 92 days, as predicted by Maury. I have used that
voyage for her maiden voyage of 1855, which was from New York to
Liverpool. The ability of Matthew Fontaine Maury to forecast the
movements of vessels and to predetermine their positions is witnessed by
the record of his service in locating for the Government, in December
1853, the disbled troop ship 'San Francisco' drifting helplessly 300
miles off Sandy Hook." vg cond, normal library markings, no dj, $50
