Synopsis
Excerpt from A Treatise on Naval Architecture and Ship-Building: Or an Exposition of the Elementary Principles Involved in the Science and Practice of Naval Construction; Compiled Form Various Standard Authorities
The matter contained in this volume has been mainly gath ered from such standard works as those of Scott Russell, Rankine, Murray and Knowles, with some assistance from Fairbairn, Fishbourne, Marrett and Peake - the object in view being to furnish a text-book for the use of the students at the United States Naval Academy.
A naval officer of fair mathematical ability can readily make himself familiar with all the essential principles governing the design of a ship, as well as the method of making the necessary calculations; but to become a naval constructor is quite another thing, and needs the long and patient apprenticeship of the mould-loft and ship-yard. Yet there is no more mystery about naval construction than about steam-enginery; and any intelligent officer may soon be theoretically, at least, conversant with both, while the importance of acquiring such knowledge, in these days of progress, is self-evident.
In accordance with these views, this compilation has been made, and is now submitted for the consideration of my brethren of. The naval service.
