The Seaman's Friend: Containing a Treatise on Practical Seamanship, With Plates (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from The Seaman's Friend: Containing a Treatise on Practical Seamanship, With Plates
This work is published at the same time in England and in America. In the latter country it appears under the title of the "Seaman's Friend;" while that of the "Seaman's Manual" is adopted in the British edition, as more significant of the nature of the book. Mr. Dana has here embodied in a small space and unpretending form a variety of information, which it is hoped may be extensively useful. Not that men who have been bred to the sea can be supposed to derive much instruction from the elementary hints of a book of this kind. Seamanship, like every other manual art, is thoroughly acquired by practice; and skill in its various branches can only be arrived at by actual experience. But young beginners will find useful helps in their study of the duties of sea-life, in the details and explanations here collected from the best available sources. Very few of the terms or the methods of management, in the Merchant Service of America, differ in any material respect from those which are used in English vessels.
