Synopsis Wooden Ship-Building (Classic Reprint) by : Charles Desmond
Excerpt from Wooden Ship-Building These rules stipulate the kinds and dimensions of materials that must be used for each principal part of hull and equipment, and also the manner in which the parts should be put together; and as the rules are based upon results of actual tests made by practical shipbuild ers and owners all over the world, it is evident that both builder and owner have every reason to adhere to them.

Synopsis Ship-Building in Iron and Wood (Classic Reprint) by : Andrew Murray
Excerpt from Ship-Building in Iron and Wood The question, however, whether ships with broadside guns, or ships with Captain Goles's revolving turrets, are to be preferred, still remains unsettled. It will perhaps be found that each of these classes will prove useful in a sphere of its own, and that what ever success may attend Captain Coles's ships, a considerable, if not the largest portion of our future fleet, must still consist of ships with broadside guns. It has been assumed by the advocates of turret ships, in their arguments in their favour, that in revolving turrets alone can guns of very large calibre be used; but it is submitted that this is not necessarily the case if the guns in the broadside of a ship be placed on a traversing platform worked by mechanical appliances; and it may be remarked, that though guns worked on board ship in the way here suggested might not each have individually the same extent of angular traverse as the guns in revolving turrets, yet as all screw ships have to some degree, by judicious management of the helm and the screw, the power of revolving almost on their own axis without going ahead, this objection is very much obviated. It must not be forgotten, also, that the ship to carry a turret, to prevent her being sunk or set on fire, must be as thoroughly protected as the ship to carry broadside guns and though possibly she may be built with her sides of a less height out of the water, yet for a sea-going vessel this advantage has many counter balancing evils.

Synopsis The Elements of Wood Ship Construction (Classic Reprint) by : W. H. Curtis
Excerpt from The Elements of Wood Ship Construction Board Emergency Fleet Corporation, for use in its classes in Wood Shipbuilding. This text on wood shipbuilding was prepared by W. H. Curtis, Port land, Oregon, for the Education and Training Section of the Emergency Fleet Corporation. It is intended for the use of carpenters and others, who, though skilled in their work, lack the detail knowledge of ships necessary for the efficient performance of their work in the yard. Sea-going vessels are generally built according to the rules of some Classification Society, and all important construction and fastening details have to be passed upon by the Classification Society under whose inspection the vessel is to be built. Due to this fact, requirements may varv in detail from types of construction here explained. It is hoped, however, that this book may be helpful to shipbuilding classes and to individual men in the yard.

Synopsis Japanese Wooden Boatbuilding by : Douglas Brooks
This is the story of the author's apprenticeships with Japanese masters to build five unique and endangered traditional boats. It is part ethnography, part instruction, and part the personal story of a wooden boatbuilder fueled by a passion to preserve a craft tradition on the brink of extinction. Over the course of 17 trips to Japan, Douglas Brooks traveled over 30,000 miles to seek out and interview Japan's elderly master boatbuilders; he built boats with five of them, all in their seventies and eighties, between 1996 and 2010. For most of them, Brooks was their sole and last apprentice. Part I introduces significant aspects of traditional Japanese boatbuilding: design, workshop and tools, wood and materials, joinery and fastenings, propulsion, ceremonies, and the apprenticeship system. Part II details each of his five apprenticeships, concluding with a poignant chapter on Japan's sole remaining traditional shipwright. This fascinating book fills a large and long-standing gap in the literature on Japanese crafts, and will be of interest to boatbuilders, woodworkers, and all those impressed with the marvels of Japanese design and workmanship.

Synopsis The Building of a Wooden Ship by : Charles Davis
When the United States entered World War I the United States Shipping Board Emergency Fleet Corporation ramped up construction of cargo ships for the war effort. Even though steel was the modern material from which to construct ships, the EFC decided to use the many shipyards still building ships of wood to quickly meet the need for more ships. To train new employees in how to build wooden ships, naval architect Charles Davis wrote The Building of a Wooden Ship.Instead of the poor quality copies of this book available from most publishers, ours was carefully scanned from an original copy at a resolution intended for print reproduction. The fold-out plan pages (not present in other available reprints) have been moved to the back of the book and scanned as multiple separate single-sided pages so they can be removed and reassembled if the reader should so choose.
