About This Book

A comprehensive nautical dictionary explains technical terms and phrases used in ship construction, rigging, equipment, machinery, sailing maneuvers, and naval operations, illustrated by practical plates showing masts, sails, yards, and rigging. Entries give definitions, etymologies when useful, cross-references to related terms, and a translated appendix of French sea-terms. The work emphasizes the mechanics of ships, artillery, and fleet movements while intentionally omitting detailed astronomy and navigation theory; illustrations and geometrical designs aim to clarify complex structures and the text draws on both the author's observations and selected technical authorities.
