TEXT-BOOK OF SEAMANSHIP. THE EQUIPPING AND HANDLING OF VESSELS UNDER SAIL OR STEAM.
Year: 1891 Language: english Author: COMMODORE S. B. LUCE, U. S. NAVY Genre: Manual Publisher: New York: VAN NOSTRAND COMPANY ISBN: Not applicable Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 803 Description: 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. S. B. LUCE, Commodore, U. S. N. ________________ 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. In this online version of the manual we have attempted to keep the flavor of the original layout while taking advantage of the Web's universal accessibility. Different browsers and fonts will cause the text to move, but the text will remain roughly where it is in the original manual. We have not attempted to correct any errors found in the original document. However, this text was captured by optical character recognition and then encoded for the Web which has added new errors we wish to correct. Please report any typos, or particularly annoying layout issues with the Mail Feedback Form for correction. Richard Pekelney Webmaster
