Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book by the author presents a meticulously researched and comprehensive system of pricing for various shipbuilding tasks, a topic seminal to the industry in the early 1800s. The basis of this system revolves around a set of tables which delineate the costs associated with different aspects of shipbuilding such as the size and type of a vessel, the kind of wood, and the complexity of the component being worked on. These tables, in conjunction with supporting guidelines, enable the user to calculate fair and equitable compensation for maritime labour. At the time of the book's publication, shipbuilding was undergoing significant change in methods, materials and scale and the author's work provided shipbuilders with a timely and much needed set of professional standards. This book stands as a valuable historical document that captures the technical and economic landscape of 19th century shipbuilding. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9780282552039_0
