About this title

Synopsis

This book delves into the intricate world of naval architecture, guiding readers through the essential calculations required for the construction of ships. The author, a keen observer of the industry, presents a comprehensive analysis of the displacement of a floating body, applying these principles to the construction of ships, which are treated as floating bodies in this context. The text goes beyond simple calculations and examines the historical context of these methods, highlighting their impact on naval construction practices. The author explores the significance of the relative capacities of a ship's fore and after bodies, emphasizing the importance of understanding their interplay in ensuring stability and efficient stowage. Through clear explanations and illustrative examples, this book equips readers with a deeper understanding of the complex interplay between form, displacement, and stability in naval architecture, providing valuable insights into the science and art of shipbuilding.
