"This book gives advice to students and naval architects on how to design ships - in particular with regard to hull design. The previous edition of this book was published in 1987. Since then, there have been numerous important developments in this area and the new additions to this book reflect these changes. Chapter 3 has been completely rewritten with added information on methodology of optimization, optimization shells and concept exploration methods. There is also a new sub-chapter on computational fluid dynamics (CFD) for ship-hull design. Plus, a new method to predict ship resistance based on the evaluation of modern ship hull design will be detailed. The emphasis of the this book is on design for operational economy. The material is directly usable not only in practice, in the design office and by shipowners, but also by students at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels."

This book presents an in-depth study of the impact of the steamship on Britain during its first forty years, roughly between 1810 and 1850. It relates the early steamship to several industrial themes including diffusion; construction; modernisation; the role of government - particularly the difficult attempt to align laissez-faire politics with the greater need for public safety measures due to technological advance; business and finance; plus public reaction and tourism. The aim is to establish the significance of the steamship as a conduit of modernisation and societal change. It consists of a foreword, introduction, and fourteen chapters devoted to specific themes, structured to ensure each chapters build on the preceding chapter's progress. Collectively, they demonstrate that the development of both experience and enterprise with steam power both gained and refined during this period made the mid-century expansion of steamship technology across Britain possible. Ultimately, it establishes that steamship services began to adapt to oceanic routes, steam began to integrate into the world economy, and the age of sail began to draw to a close.

""Ghost Fleet" Awakened is the untold story of a little recognized sunken fleet of British warships from the French and Indian War (1755-1763). In the autumn of 1758, the British command at Lake George, New York made a daring decision. Without a fortification to protect their battle crafts, since the French and their Native American allies destroyed Fort William Henry in August 1757, the British deliberately sank two floating batteries (radeaux), some row galleys and whaleboats, a sloop, and 260 bateaux. This placed the warships into wet storage, protecting them from marauding French over the winter of 1758-1759. Many submerged boats were raised in 1759, but some were not. In 1960, two divers rediscovered several sunken bateaux. The media dubbed the sunken boats the "Ghost Fleet." These shipwrecks were the focus of underwater archaeological investigations that provided archaeologists with opportunities to gain unprecedented insight into eighteenth century lifeways. This book takes readers on a journey that began over 250 years ago, when bateaux first plied the waters of this mountain lake. It enlightens readers with a history of these utilitarian vessels, including their origins and uses. The author infuses the book with underwater archaeology doctrine, so readers understand the nautical significance of these colonial craft. Furthermore, the book examines shipwreck preservation techniques, the creation of shipwreck parks for scuba enthusiasts, and the many multi-faceted programs developed by the non-profit organization Bateaux Below to help protect these finite cultural resources."--Provided by publisher.
