Excerpt from Standardization of Ship Materials
The design of a ship indeed has some advantages over that of a bridge. When once built the bridge is largely left to the mercy of the elements (and of constantly in creasing train loads), Whereas on each voyage the captain of a ship has it within his power to stow and navigate in such a manner as to minimize the menace of the waves. It is of course true that this menace may reduce the safety factor of ignorance to a greater extent than in the case of a bridge.
