Knights Modern Seamanship 1941 FA
Knights Modern Seamanship A Van Nostrands Nautical Manual by Rear
Admiral Austin M Knight, US Navy VGC.1941 848 pages. This massive book covers everything in exhaustive detail,and I mean everything! All aspects of seamanship with a profusion of photos,diagrams,rigging diagrams,knotwork,anchorwork & charts. Superb book for the mariner. There is some bias towards ships as opposed to small scale cruisers etc.although it does cover the smaller scale operations too. Some headings :- Hull & fittings /Knotting & splicing / Mechanical devices / Handling boats in surf / Mooring / Towing / Rescuing crew of a wreck / Stranding / Maneuvering to avoid collision /Weather etc. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...e=STRK:MESE:IT |
