(Yachting.) Conor O Brien, 2 titles: 'Across Three Oceans: A Colonial Voyage in the Yacht "Saoirse"', London, Edward Arnold, 1926, 1st edition, 16 illustrations (comprising frontis & 10 further ills. from photographs + 5 line illustration plans/diagrams) plus 3 full page maps and map end papers complete, 16pp publisher's catalogue of adverts at end, original publisher's cloth gilt, 'From Three Yachts: A Cruiser's Outlook', London, Edward Arnold, 1928, 1st edition, small "Presentation Copy" inkstamp above imprint on title page, portrait frontis of the author, [2],12pp publisher's adverts at end, original publisher's cloth gilt. The first two books by Edward Conor Marshall O Brien (1880-1952), Irish sailor, naval architect and ship builder, author, aristocrat, intellectual, and mountaineer, very scarce in first edition. O Brien was the owner and captain of one of the first boats to sail under the tri-colour of the Irish Free State, and was the first amateur Irish sailor to sail around the world. His boat Saoirse was reputedly the first small boat (42-foot, 13 metres long) to sail around the world since Joshua Slocum completed his voyage in the 'Spray' during 1895 to 1898. O Brien was the greatest seaman of his era, a universally acknowledged pioneer of international ocean sailing, 'Across Three Oceans' is his account of his groundbreaking voyage in 1923-25 around the world in his ketch Saoirse. O’Brien’s voyage began and ended at the Port of Foynes, County Limerick, Ireland, where he lived, and was the first to circumnavigate the world by way of the three great capes: Cape Horn, Cape of Good Hope and Cape Leeuwin. 'From Three Yachts' is the authors account of his various voyages on his three most notable boats, Kelpie, Saoirse (meaning "freedom" in the Irish language) and Ilen. O Brien spoke fluent Irish, was an early member of Sinn Fein (as well as the United Arts Club), and was outspoken in the cause of Irish Home Rule—all of which fairly unusual for a Protestant. By 1914 such politics had become ‘relevant’, and he joined the Irish Volunteers—a proto version of the IRA—using his own yacht, the Kelpie, to help Erskine Childers run guns into Ireland (from Germany) in the preludial months of WWI. Man of adventure and ardent believer in nascent free state, he nonetheless soon lost sympathy for the more violent aspects of Irish republicanism. In an improbable volte-face, he promptly joined the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve in which he served throughout WW1. He was a ship builder and naval architect, designing the Saoirse (in which he circumnavigated the globe) and the Ilen (a Falkland Islands service ship), both being built at the Baltimore Fishery School in Kerry. In 1928 he married the artist Katherine Clausen, and in the early 1930s they spent an idyllic time cruising with Saoirse in the Mediterranean, working together on books and articles which he wrote and she illustrated. Kitty Clausen’s tragically early death in 1936 ended his happy partnership after just eight years, and by 1940, Saoirse was sold. O Brien was too old for active services when World War II broke out in 1939, but he served the allied cause as a skipper for the small Ships Pool, delivering support vessels across the Atlantic. After the war he returned to Foynes Island where, aged 72, he died in his sister’s house in 1952. (2)
