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 Seamanship.The admirable treatises of Luce, Nares, and Alston, originating in the days when seamanship was almost wholly concerned 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 These treatises will never be out of date until the time, still far in the future, when sails shall have been entirely driven out by steam.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 excellent 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 die Merchant Service.Shortly after the present work was begun, a circular letter was addressed to officers of the merchant service and extensively circulated through the Branch Hydrographic Offices at New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Norfolk, requesting the views oi the officers addressed, upon the following subjects:I. Taking a Disabled Vessel in Tow in Bad Weather.II. Rescuing the Crew of a Wreck in Bad Weather.III. Rescuing a Man Overt Kard.IV. Lying-to in a Gale.V. The Stowage and Handling of Boats.VI. Manœuvring Single-screw and Twin-screw Vessels.VII. Floating a Stranded Vessel.VIII. Handling Steamers around a Dock.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
