Description:Excerpt from Modern SeamanshipAn attempt is made, in the following pages, to cover a wider field than that covered by most of the existing works on Sea manship.The admirable treatises of Luce, Nares, and Alston, origi nating in the days when seamanship was almost wholly con cerned with the fitting and handling of vessels under sail, have preserved through later editions the general characteristics which they naturally assumed in the beginning. These treatises will never be out of date until the time, still far in the future, when sails shall have been entirely driven out by steam. It will hardly be denied, however, that the Steamer has long since established its claim to consideration in Seamanship, and that there is room for a work in which this claim shall be more fully recognized than in the treatises above referred to. The excel lent work of Captains Todd and Whall, Practical Seamanship for the Merchant Service, deals more fully than either of its predecessors with the handling of steamers but its point of view is, as its name implies, primarily and almost exclusively that of the Merchant Service.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
