First and only edition, classified "Geheim" - Secret - this copy No.8 of an unknown limitation; inevitably uncommon, WorldCat records solely the copy in the Haagse Defensiebibliothek. Report of a tour of inspection down the Clyde made by two Dutch marine engineers Beeloo and Cop on the orders of the Dutch Ministry of the Marine,… visiting the dockyards of John Elder & Co., the Ingliss Brothers, Robert Napier & Sons, J. & G. Thomson and Denny and the factories of the Steel Company of Scotland, Thomas Shanks & Co., John Mc.Dowall & Sons and James Miller & Co. The work starts with an introduction to the trip and a general discussion of the choice between iron and steel for building ships, followed by brief information on the companies and detailed technical descriptions of ships and equipment. Beeloo was responsible for department of shipbuilding at the Delft Polytechnic School, and in 1883 was made chief shipbuilding engineer - "the highest position in the Marine Engineer's Corps" (DBNL). This copy was held by the "Bureau van den Inspecteur o.d. Stoomvaartdienst" - Office of the Inspector for the Steamboat Service, inked inscription to the front board and some annotations in the margins of the text. Excellent copy of an interesting and uncommon addition to the technical literature of the period. Foolscap folio (335 x 215 mm). 8 lithographed folding plans and maps, including plans of automatic ship ventilators, Whitworth 9-inch and 70-pounder breech-loading guns, together with detailed maps of Chatham and Portsmouth dockyards, 24 pages of introductory/explanatory text. Original black cloth-backed, pale grey paper-covered printed boards. A little rubbed, boards browning at the edges, pale toning of the text-block, tear in the stub of the last folding plan, not encroaching on the image, overall very good.

First and only edition, classified as "Geheim" (secret), copy no. 8 of an unknown number of copies. WorldCat lists only one copy, in the Haagse Defensiebibliotheek. This report was written by two Dutch marine engineers after their inspection tour of cruisers at the Marine Department of the International Inventions Exhibitions in… London and various British shipyards, including the well-known Newcastle-based firm Armstrong, Mitchell & Co. The report starts with a brief introduction to the purposes and itinerary of the trip, followed by background information on cruisers in general, detailed descriptions of various types, and specific examples, such as the Japanese vessels Naniwa-Kan and Takachiho-Kan, and the torpedo-cruisers Scout and Fearless. Cop was appointed professor of naval architecture at the Polytechnic School in Delft in 1887, while Van Veen (1859-1935) published several technical works and wrote journal articles on naval policy. This copy was held by the "Bureau van den Inspecteur o.d. Stoomvaartdienst" (Office of the Inspector for the Steamboat Service), with an inked inscription on the front board. It is a nice copy of this timely and somewhat elusive work. Foolscap folio (335 x 215 mm). With 5 lithographed extensive folding plates of ship plans, 2 of the Japanese cruiser Naniwa-Kan built by the firm Armstrong, Mitchell & Co., the first of these measuring c. 320 x 1350 mm Original black cloth-backed, pale grey paper-covered printed boards. A little rubbed, boards browned at the margins, pale toning and light foxing to the text, remains very good.
