Synopsis:

For a large part of the 20th century, until their closure in 1994, the ship model testing tanks at Teddington and Feltham played a major role in the design and development of merchant ships as we now know them. This is a record of the research and test programmes conducted there. The book describes how the testing tamks at Teddington and Feltham were used to solve design problems through research into propulsion, sea conditions and the behaviour of ships, marine vehicles and offshore structures. This important role in solving specific problems in wartime and their use in the investigation of disasters at sea are also explained.
