About This Book

A practical manual offering step-by-step instructions and numerous engravings on knotting, splicing, rigging, blocks, purchases, running rigging, and other essential seamanship tasks, together with tables of spars, sails, block sizes, cordage, and cable specifications for different classes of vessels. Organized into sections that catalog individual knots, splices, fittings, and small-boat evolutions, it focuses on hands-on technique, materials, and measurements to instruct novice seamen and to serve as a concise reference for more experienced officers and merchant mariners.

I fully concur in the above.

I have examined the within treatise on Seamanship, and other miscellaneous matter appertaining to ships and vessels of war (written by William Brady, Master U. S. Navy).
