Synopsis

This book is an invaluable resource on the science of naval architecture, especially regarding ships at rest, and the principles of displacement. Building on the work of Chapman and Creuse, the author provides a practical demonstration of calculating displacement in detail. The book was written for the use of naval students in conformity with the express desire of the French Minister of Marine. It was intended to supplement existing works that focused on shipwrights rather than the stability and equilibrium of ships. This book bridges that gap and provides essential knowledge for naval students on ship design and engineering, complimenting the work done by other naval scholars at the time. Overall, this book contributes to a deeper understanding of ship design principles and their application in the field of naval engineering.
