Binding tight and solid. Captain H. Paasch was the first to recognize the complexity and variety in marine vocabulary and technical terminology and the inherent need for a cohesive codification of nautical terms. Equipped with over 35 years of sea faring experience, including commands and a role as a Surveyor to Lloyd's Register, Paasch sets out, chapter by chapter, an exhaustive explanation of all the principal parts of a ship's structure and equipment. He describes the main types of steam and sailing vessels; wooden and iron hulls; propulsion machinery; anchors and related equipment; masts and spars; standing and running rigging, as well as sails, tackle, blocks and ropes. He concludes with knots, bends, hitches and splices and finally provides a listing of standard measurements. Paasch's stated intention to describe a ship literally 'From Keel to Truck' has been widely applauded as has his provision of all equivalent terms in French and German in addition to English. Each section is accompanied by a multitude of line illustrations of the highest quality. Set out over 85 pages, these line engravings serve to qualify the copious multi-lingual verbal descriptions. EB; 8.5 X 5.8 X 1.0 inches; 328 pages.
