The book consists of the results of Professor Lindblad's studies and personal experiments during the course of many years. It provides a summary of literature from papers in technical journals and transactions and reports published by various technical societies, on aspects concerning the design of ships' lines and related topics. The scope of the book is limited, not covering smaller types of ships or warships. Chapters comprise of: Choice of the main dimensions (determining length and breadth of the ship, relationship between breadth and draught), Choice of the form coefficients (block, waterplane, prismatic), Full ships with block coefficients between 0.81 and 0.76, Ships with block coefficients between 0.75 and 0.71, Ships with block coefficients between 0.70 and 0.66, Ships with block coefficients between 0.66 and 0.60 and Ships with block coefficients lower than 0.60. The final chapter looks at Cross channel vessels.

This book covers the history and development of the tea clippers, with chapters on a history of the trade and the business of handling tea; the China Sea and sailing directions; free trade from China and ships of 1833-1847; the Aberdeen Bow and ships of 1946-1854; American trade to London and ships of 1847-1856; wood, iron or composite and ships of 1852-1857; requirements of design and ships of 1858-1862; the Greenock model and ships of 1863-1866; the final clipper ships boom and ships of 1867-1869; and changing trade and ships of 1870-1876.

A directory of Russian merchant ships, this part focusing on ro/ro and container ships. Written in German.

This paper uses a Comparative Naval Architecture approach to discuss in four sections the unusual features of the Titanic the post-Titanic ships of the 1920s and 30s modern passenger ships and risk of unanticipated levels of damage to future ships. This paper starts by comparing the Titanic to ships before and after her. The ship features that seem frivolous (a huge fake fourth stack) or bad engineering practice (shallow watertight bulkheading forward) are explained. The operational background for owner/operators to make decisions like providing an inadequate number of lifeboat seats and proceeding full speed through a scattered ice field are described. The post-SOLAS 1929 ships are compared to Titanic and modern ships. In the larger framework the paper describes the continuing evolution of passenger ships the sources of danger to them and if there still is the possibility of "iceberg-like" surprises for modern ships.

Case studies of ships built by the Caledon Shipbuilding and Engineering Company.

During World War II Canadian shipyards built more than four hundred merchant ships, most of them 10,000-ton cargo ships. For the first time this extraordinary accomplishment is described in detail, including the design of the ships, their construction, and each ship's operation and history. Also provided is a fold-out plan, to scale, of the British ship from which the Canadian program originated. The dispersal of these ships at the end of the war and the near demise of the Canadian merchant marine is also discussed. Eyewitness accounts bring to life the many adventures of the merchant crewmen who manned these so-called "Forts and Parks" ships. Superbly illustrated, the book is a welcome addition to maritime history and a tribute to the Canadian war effort.

'Methods of arriving at correct proportions, form and power to attain minimum Capital Cost with maximum service efficiency'. The book attempts to provide an exposition of the whole problem of ship design, as approached from different points of view - the builder, owner and operator. Contents are arranged into 3 parts: Part 1, The design of merchant ships (determination of ship dimensions, freeboard and general arrangements for cargo or passenger ship, oil-carrying, special service units), Part 2, Weight and cost estimating and preliminary calculations (weight, cost, wood and outfit, preliminary), Part 3, Powering of ships (resistance and propellers), Part 4, Passenger ships (general arrangements of small and moderate passenger-cargo ships, cross-channel boat, passenger liner).

These Rules cover materials, design principles, design loads, longitudinal strength, shell structures, decks, bottom structures, framing system, deck beams and supporting deck structures, watertight bulkheads, tank structures, stem and sternframe structures, rudder and manoeuvring arrangement, strengthening for navigation in ice, superstructure and deckhouses, hatchways, equipment, welded joints, fatigue strength, hull outfit, structural fire protection on board seagoing ships, strengthenings for heavy cargo, bulk carriers, ore carriers, oil tankers, tugs, passenger ships, special purpose ships, subdivision and damage stability of cargo ships, supply vessels, ships for sheltered water service, barges and pontoons, dredgers, strengthening against collisions, special requirements for in-water surveys, and corrosion protection.

Lloyd's Register's naval ship classification regime was developed primarily for naval ships that have or will be designed or constructed in accordance with standards applicable to frontline naval ships and that will be operated in a naval environment. The regime covers a range of ships such as destroyers aircraft carriers and frigates and includes vessels with offensive and defensive roles. The advantages of ships operating within the naval ship classification regime are recognised by different navies. Changes to Lloyd's Regulations for the Classification of Naval Ships now allow for auxiliary naval ships used for the support of civil and naval operations to be brought within the scope of the naval ship classification regime. Naval auxiliary support ships may have a variety of roles including the movement of military and other personnel ammunition vehicles stores and fuels and their transfer other naval ships. They do not have a defined offensive role but may have limited self-defensive capability. In general the ships will also need to comply with other Lloyd's Register classification rule requirements of the International Convention standards for arrangements and equipment which are applicable to the ship type. The requirements and processes for the classification of auxiliary naval support ships within the scope of Lloyd's Register's Naval Ship classification regime are described.
