Overview

Excerpt from The Marine Engineer and Naval Architect, Vol. 46: June, 1923 The design and equipment of mercantile vessels is a vast subject to compress into so small a space. But the author of this book has contrived to deal with it very thoroughly. He. Considers ships as a whole, briefly, fundamentally, historically, and then goes on to deal with the more detailed portions of ships' structures. Complete section is devoted to sailing ships and their fittings - the Germans seem ever to have a soft spot for this type of vessel and the full-page drawings containing little sketch elevations of typical sailing craft are instructive and interesting. The author also deals in another section with the important question of tonnage and tonnage measurement. Do not pretend to admire the arrangement of the folding plates at the end of the book, however. They are arranged to slip into a thin paper band, which. Under stress of even occasional wear, cannot possibly have a very long life. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
