Textbook Of Seamanship. The Equipping and Handling Of Vessels Under Sail Or Steam
Year: 1884 Language: English Author: Luce S.B., Ward A., Seabury S. Genre: Textbook Publisher: D. Van Nostrand Format: PDF Quality: Scanned pages Pages count: 803 Description: Text-Book of Seamanship, 1891, is an updated age of sail textbook at the beginning of the true transition of warships from sail to steam power. THIS work, originally compiled in haste to meet the immediate wants of the Naval Academy, and revised at different periods under the pressure of other duties, has not merited the place it has so long occupied as a text-book. Of this the compiler has been fully conscious. Its deficiencies were so numerous and so obvious and the circumstances under which it was prepared so well known that apologies seemed altogether superfluous. It was for long years supposed, moreover, that some more competent hand would have undertaken an entirely new work. Finding this expectation not realized, Lieutenant Aaron Ward has kindly consented to undertake the task of revision. He has performed his work intelligently and well, leaving out what was obsolete, introducing much new material, rearranging the subjects, and bringing the text down to the present time. He has been ably assisted by Lieutenant Samuel Seabury, who has contributed some four hundred new illustrations and revised the old ones.
