The author, a skilled practitioner in the field, uses the language of his day to explain the fundamental principles of ship construction. The book focuses on the practical application of Sterlingââ â¢s rules, a system of mathematical calculations that was then considered essential for accurately determining a shipââ â¢s displacement, immersion, and stability. The book provides readers with a detailed examination of the calculations necessary for constructing a ship, particularly a yacht, using a series of step-by-step instructions and diagrams. The author demonstrates how to use Sterlingââ â¢s rules to calculate the volume of water a ship displaces, the position of the shipââ â¢s center of gravity, and the relative capacities of the shipââ â¢s fore and after bodies. The author further illustrates the practical implications of these calculations, emphasizing the crucial role they play in ensuring the shipââ â¢s stability and suitability for carrying its intended cargo or crew. This book is a fascinating historical document, offering valuable insights into the scientific methods used in the design and construction of ships during a pivotal period in naval history.
