The Ship-Builders Complete Guide: Comprehending the Theory and Practice of Naval Architecture, With Its Modern Improvements (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from The Ship-Builders Complete Guide: Comprehending the Theory and Practice of Naval Architecture, With Its Modern Improvements
The navy of England does not date its origin prior to the time of our Saxon ancestors. It is now, however, the best defence for our sea girt shores. The navy may indeed be considered as the natural strength of the British empire, nor need we apprehend any danger from foreign invasion while Britain retains the sovereignty of the seas. To ensure this important desideratum, the art of ship-building must receive that assistance from theoretical science, without which, foreign navies will ultimately excel us on our own peculiar element.
