Synopsis
Excerpt from A Manual of Naval Architecture: For the Use of Officers of the Royal Navy, Officers of the Mercantile Marine, Shipbuilders and Shipowners
Tms book has been undertaken in the hope that it may supply a want in the literature of naval architecture. Existing treatises have been written mainly for the use of those who desired to obtain the knowledge of the subject required in the practice of ship designing; in all, or nearly all, these books mathematical language is freely used, and without a considerable knowledge of mathematics no one can follow the reasoning. My work at the Royal Naval College has, however, shown me that outside the profession of the naval architect there are to be found very many persons, more or less intimately connected with shipping, who desire to obtain acquaintance with the principles of ship construction, but cannot obtain the information from existing text-books. Officers of the Royal Navy have repeatedly asked me to recommend a book which contained, in popular language, a comprehensive summary of the theory of naval architecture. Being unable to name such a book, and feeling confident that the desire expressed by 015 core of the Royal Navy will be shared by many oficers of the mercantile marine, as well as shipbuilders, shipowners, and others, I decided to attempt the task now completed. I venture to h0pe that the work may be found acceptable also as an introduction for students to the more mathematical treatment of the subject contained in other works, and that even naval architects them selves may find some valuable information herein.
