Young Seaman's Manual
by Various authors
A heavily illustrated collection in twelve informative chapters covering the seaman's arts. Originally created for the use of the U.S. Training Ships and Marine Schools. Presented by us in a "Folio" binding (11" x 17") to emphasize the many fine line drawings and tables. Subject areas are: The Compass and Lead, Knotting and Splicing, The Log, Rope, Blocks, Tackles, The Mast and the Rudder, Cutting and Fitting Riggings, Masting, Rigging the Ship (for specific situatioins like Running Rigging), Sails and a complete chapter on Boats; everything from Fire ships to practical hints to those in charge of boats. Fascinating and clearly written information.
