This book is addressed to those who are studying for the various grades of Department of Trade Certificates and to all who seek a little more knowledge of the ships that they see, build or sail in.

The value of a book lies mainly in the quality rather than the quantity of its contents and a good drawing, combined with a short but clear description, can often be made to take the place of many pages of print. Those who are not trained in mechanical drawing usually find some difficulty in visualising parts of a ship from ordinary plans and elevations and perspective
sketeches are, undoubtedly, the best method of presenting ship construction to sailors. Consequently, the text is here made as concise as possible and is illustrated by a large number of full-page perspective drawings. To avoid confusion, only the most common method of constructing any particular part is given in most cases, although there may be a number of alternatives.

In this revised edition, a number of changes have been made, to conform to current practice and rules and to cover the new Department of Trade and Industry syllabus. The chapter on riveting and a very small amount of riveted construction have been retained, as desirable; but, apart from this, welded structures are described exclusively. This section on oil tankers has been completely rewwritten, whilst a new section on bending stresses and stress diagrams has been introduced. Dimensions are now given in metric units and the text has been rearranged, as necessary, to maintain a logical and clear sequence.
