Item description from seller

Volume 5 (January 7 to June 24, 1915). Folio. 512pp. Maroon rexine with gilt spine lettering. Hinges firm and intact. 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 a critical phase of the First World War, providing an invaluable contemporary look at British and international maritime commerce, wartime fleet logistics, marine engineering breakthroughs, and port infrastructure developments. Complete with all the fold-out plates as called for. TYPICAL SHIPS OF 1914 COMPARATIVE CHART (January 7, 1915): Extraordinary multi-page scale profile blueprint displaying side-by-side scale silhouettes of the greatest ships of the era to compare relative sizes. Includes the iconic profiles of the Aquitania, Transylvania, and Tuscania scale-matched against a baseline rule in feet to illustrate the pinnacle of pre-war mercantile design. CABLE-REPAIRING STEAMER TRANSMITTER PLANS (January 7, 1915): Massive multi-page general arrangement fold-out charting the profile hull cutaway and complete horizontal deck grids for this highly specialized vessel. Built by the Goole Shipbuilding & Repairing Co., Ltd. for the Eastern Telegraph Company to maintain critical wartime deep-sea communication cables, mapping out the specialized deep-sea cable storage tanks and machinery. S.S. ARIADNE PASSENGER LINER PLANS (February 4, 1915): Large fold-out supplement detailing the complete general arrangement, profile elevation, and multi-deck levels for this Finnish passenger steamer. Constructed by Lindholmens Verkstads A.B. (Gothenburg) for Finska Ångfartygs Aktiebolaget, mapping out five highly detailed architectural perspectives including exact cabin configurations and passenger accommodation statistics for a vessel that later served as a wartime hospital ship. OIL-TANKER WESTWEGO ARRANGEMENT BLUEPRINT (March 4, 1915): Massive fold-out general arrangement mapping the complete longitudinal profile and seven independent deck layers. Originally constructed as the Steaua Romana by J. Frerichs & Co. (Germany) for a Berlin-managed firm, this plate explicitly documents early petroleum tank and cofferdam layouts alongside its strategic contemporary wartime transfer to the U.S.A. flag. T.S.S. KAISAR-I-HIND LINER BLUEPRINT (April 1, 1915): Spectacular, multi-page fold-out general arrangement and deck plan schematic for the famous P&O luxury passenger and mail liner. Built by Caird & Co., Ltd. (Greenock), this massive plan features eight comprehensive architectural views mapping the intricate layout of passenger staterooms, public lounges, engine spaces, and mail rooms for this iconic flagship. GERMAN LINER WILLIAM O'SWALD BLUEPRINT (April 22, 1915): Highly coveted "ghost ship" history plate detailing the complete internal general arrangement, longitudinal cutaways, and overhead plans for a planned 20,000-ton German luxury liner. Preserves the original design intended for the Hamburg Amerika and Hamburg South American Lines before construction was frozen by the outbreak of international hostilities. U.S. SUBMARINE TENDER FULTON BLUEPRINT (May 27, 1915): Fascinating military crossover plate detailing the complete internal general arrangement, longitudinal profile, and four independent deck layers for the historic AS-1. Captures the blueprints of the United States Navy's very first purpose-built, diesel-powered fleet tender constructed by the Fore River Shipbuilding Corporation, specifically locating early naval torpedo repair shops and submarine battery charging stations. S.S. NORTHWESTERN MILLER & SOUTHWESTERN MILLER ENGINE SPREAD (June 24, 1915): Colossal full-page technical blueprint capturing the raw mechanical layout of the heart of the ship, showcasing the precise end and side elevations of the massive triple-expansion steam engines built by Richardsons, Westgarth & Co., Ltd. for these historic Panama Canal grain freighters.…
