1. Boat-Building And Boating By D.C.Beard 1931 (218pages) |
|
|
|
 |
|
THIS is not a book for yacht-builders, but it is intended for
beginners in the art of boat-building, for boys and men who wish
to make something with which they may navigate the waters
of ponds, lakes, or streams. It begins with the most primitive
crafts composed of slabs or logs and works up to scows, houseboats,
skiffs, canoes and simple forms of sailing craft, a motorboat,
and there it stops.

2. The Building Of The Ship By Henry Wadsworth Longfellow 1870 (92pages) |
|
|
|
 |
|
It was of another form, indeed;
Built for freight, and yet for speed.
A beautiful and gallant craft;
broad in the beam, that the stress of the blast,
pressing down upon sail and mast,
Might not the sharp bows overwhelm;
broad in the beam, but sloping aft with graceful curve and slow degrees,
That she might be docile to the helm,
and that the currents of parted seas, closing behind, with mighty force, Might aid and not impede her course.

3. Canoe and Boat Building By W. P. Stephens 1880 (278pages) |
|
|
|
 |
|
THE character and object of this book are set forth on its title page. It is a manual designed for the practical assistance of those who wish to build their own canoes
The number of boating men who find pleasure merely in
sailing a boat is small compared with those who delight not
only in handling, but as well in planning, building, improving
or "tinkering" generally on their pet craft, and undoubtedly the latter derive the greater amount of pleasure from the sport. They not only feel a pride in the result of their
work, but their pleasure goes on, independent of the seasons.

4.Handbook Of Ship Calculations, Construction And Operation 1917 By Charles H. Hughes (776pages) |
|
|
|
|
|
This handbook has been compiled with the purpose of
assembling in a single publication in convenient form, practical
data for everyday reference, for men engaged in the designing,
building and operating of ships. theoretical calculations have been purposely omitted. Shipowners and men in the offices of steamship companies will
find particular interest in the sections on Loading and Stowing
of Cargoes. Maintenance, Ship Chartering, and Marine Insurance. To men employed in shipyards the sections on Ship Calculations and Hull Construction, Structural Details, Machinery,
and Ship Equipment, and the various formulae for making quick calculations will be of use.

5. Steam-Ship Breat Britain, Built At Bristol 1845 By Capt. Claxton, R. N. (36pages) |
|
|
|
 |
|
This splendid iron ship—the largest vessel we believe in the
world—was launched, or rather floated off, from the dock at Bristol in which she was built, on the 19th of July, 1843, in the immediate presence of Prince Albert and a large concourse of
noblemen and gentlemen, and families of the first distinction
from nearly every quarter of the kingdom, as well as of many
thousands of spectators belonging to that town, and congregated on the adjacent heights, and every available point of view on shore, or from vessels on the river.

7. Ship-Building In Iron And Wood By Andrew Murray (246pages) |
|
|
|
 |
|
The proprietors of the Encyclopaedia Britannica having determined on printing as a
separate treatise, in a somewhat enlarged form, the article Ship-Building as prepared
for the eighth edition of that work, and a second edition of the separate treatise being
now called for, it is proposed to say a few words explanatory of the tenor and scope of
the original article. The article in the previous edition of the Encyclopaedia was written
by Mr Creuze, a member of the School of Naval Architecture which existed at Portsmouth under the late Dr Inman.

11. Treatise On Marine And Naval Architecture 1852 By John W. Griffiths (512pages) |
|
|
|
 |
|
In the dedication of this work to the
Shipwrights of the United States, the
Author has no apology to offer. However much may have been published by Naval Architects in the old
world, it is but too plain to the thinking mechanic that the science of Ship building is yet in its infancy.

12. Treatise On Ship-Building And Navigation By Mungo Murray 1770 (486pages) |
|
|
|
 |
|
This is a very, very old book written in 1770 when the letter 'S" was still written as an 'F'. It is full of diagrams and calculations for the mathematicians among us and historically very important.
"THOUGH the art of Ship-building is of the utmoft
confequence to the trade and fecurity of this nation,
and a competent knowledge of the theory of it neceffary
for every Shipwright, yet I cannot think of a fubject which
has been fo little treated of in our language."

13. Wooden Ship-Building By Charles Desmond (236pages) |
|
|
|
 |
|
THE
object of this book is to place at the disposal
of builders of wood ships some much needed information
about construction and equipment. Each
principal part of a vessel's construction is explained, the
information being arranged in such a manner that the
reader can either use the book for reference purposes and
quickly obtain from it desired information about any selected
part of hull or equipment, or he can read the book as one continuous story covering the construction and equipment of a vessel.
