This book explains in clear readable and practical language the underlying principles governing the interplay between the ship, her hull form, and propulsion with the sea in deep and shallow water. The chapters cover: the nature of water; waves; proximity; foils, fins, and blades; turning corners; fairness and flow; stability and stabilization; vibration. The book is the result of a lifetime's work as a leading naval architect whose insight will deeply interest anybody involved in taking ships to sea. Well illustrated. ISBN:
