Item description from seller

Volume 3 (January 1 to June 25, 1914). Folio. 788pp + 108pp inserted special number. Maroon rexine with gilt spine lettering. Hinges just about split (binding copy). Light shelf wear to the edges and minor creasing to some pages. The fold-out engineering supplements remain intact with just slight wear and creasing. This volume chronicles the global maritime industry during the final six months of international peace preceding the outbreak of World War I, capturing the maiden voyage of the Aquatania, industrial merchant ships, and emerging naval stealth tech. Just a small selection of the large fold-out plates (please enquire for others). TYPICAL SHIPS OF 1913 COMPARATIVE CHART (January 1, 1914): Extraordinary multi-page scale profile blueprint displaying side-by-side scale silhouettes of the greatest ships of the era to compare relative sizes.

INSULINDE DUTCH COLONIAL LINER PLANS (January 15, 1914): Massive fold-out general arrangement mapping the complete longitudinal profile and eight independent deck layers. Built by de Schelde for the Rotterdamsche Lloyd mail service to the Dutch East Indies (Indonesia). T.S.S. AQUITANIA MAIDEN VOYAGE BLUEPRINT (May 28, 1914): Spectacular, multi-page fold-out general arrangement and deck plan schematic published exactly two days before her historic maiden voyage from Liverpool. Built by John Brown & Co. for Cunard, this massive plan maps eleven separate vertical layers from the topmost Boat Deck down to the turbine engine rooms, boiler holds, and coal bunkers. DUTCH COLONIAL SUBMARINE BLUEPRINT (June 18, 1914): Highly coveted military crossover plate detailing the complete internal general arrangement, longitudinal cutaways, and overhead plans for a pioneering K-I class submarine built by the De Schelde Shipyard for service in the Dutch East Indies (Indonesia).
