I am selling my set of Murphy books. This is a set of six books edited by Captain Joseph S. Murphy comprising the Deck Officer Study Guide. They are described as “US Coast Guard License Examination Preparation for the Professional Mariner”.
License Examinations:
Master: Oceans - Near Coastal - Inland - Great Lakes, Any Gross Tons
Chief Mate: Oceans - Near Coastal - Inland - Great Lakes, Any Gross Tons
Second Mate: Oceans - Near Coastal - Inland - Great Lakes, Any Gross Tons
Third Mate / OICNW: Oceans - Near Coastal - Inland - Great Lakes, Any Gross Tons
Master & Mate: Limited License, All Routes, All Tonnage Groups
Each book covers an in-depth study of various key subjects, with complete USCG exam questions and answers provided:
Book 1: Deck General
Book 2: Navigation General
Book 3: Deck Safety
Book 4: Rules of the Road
Book 5: Navigation Problems
Book 6: Deck Examination Illustration Book
I used these to pass all my exams from 3/M to Master, so they have served me well. I know the USCG has come out with new questions not in these books, but many still are. In addition to these books I have the Coast Pilot and Light List reprints as well as the 1981 almanac for celestial problems. I’ll also include left over plotting sheets and maneuvering boards! All materials are in fair condition, no rips and possibly only a few pencil marks.
The price is $50 or reasonable offer (plus shipping - Total weight is about 15 lbs.). Open to local delivery if reasonable. I live in Rhode Island.
