Excerpt from The Fouling and Corrosion of Iron Ships: Causes and Means of Prevention, the Mode of Application to the Existing Iron-Clads
The continued want of success which has hitherto attended all the attempts, which have been brought to a practical test, for pre venting the fouling and corrosion of iron ships, and the many cases of fouling and corrosion which have come under the Author's notice, induced him to turn his attention to the question, with the view, if possible, of detecting the cause of failure.
In the course of his researches he collected a great amount of facts and particulars, and the serious and increasing magnitude of the evil became so striking that he resolved to embody them with some remarks and statements on ships of wood and iron, with the view of directing public attention to so momentous a subject, and pointing out a ready and practical means by which these evils can be removed.
