Synopsis
Excerpt from Lectures on Naval Architecture and Engineering: With Catalogue of the Exhibition
The Lectures which form the greater part of this volume were delivered in connection with an Exhibition of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering in Glasgow, during the winter season of 1880-81. The Exhibition was initiated by the Museum Committee of the Town Council of Glasgow; but the dimensions it attained, and the large measure of success which attended the undertaking, were principally due to the efforts of a Committee of Shipbuilders and Engineers of the Clyde and other districts, by whom the active duties of the Exhibition were directed. The nature and scope of the Exhibition itself, and the sources whence the objects shown were drawn, will best be learnt from the Catalogue, which forms an appendix to this volume.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a comprehensive overview of the significant developments in naval architecture and marine engineering over the last quarter of the 19th century, during which time the steam-powered, iron-hulled ship became the norm. The author, a prominent naval architect and engineer of the period, traces the technological advancements that revolutionised maritime travel, from the adoption of the compound engine and surface condenser, to the widespread use of steel in shipbuilding, and the introduction of new ship designs such as the cigar ship and the twin ship. Beyond these technical innovations, the book also explores the profound impact of these changes on global trade and communications, facilitating the rapid transport of goods and people worldwide, and enabling nations to project their power across oceans with unprecedented speed and efficiency. The author argues that these innovations were not merely incremental improvements, but transformative developments that laid the foundation for the modern shipping industry as we know it today. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
