Excerpt from Report on the "Daphne" Disaster

I should have been glad, had it been possible, to have avoided the necessity of dealing at length in this report with this very technical question, both because its investigation involves the introduction of somewhat abstract scientific matters, and because it is impossible to discuss it at all without making some reference to the stability of ships in other than launching conditions. But as the matter bears in the most direct and immediate manner upon the disaster to the Daphne, and as the disclosure of unexpected circumstances concerning the launching condition of ships may serve to avert possible future calamities, I have felt bound to investigate the matter and report 11 on it.
