Herbert Lee Seward was professor emeritus of mechanical and marine engineering at Yale University. Professor Seward served on the Yale faculty for 42 years. He was an adviser to governmental agencies. In World War II he served the Secretary of the Navy as consultant. He graduated from Yale in 1906, became a lieutenant commander in the Navy during World War I, and was appointed a full professor at his alma mater in 1928. Professor Seward took part in the investigations following the burning and sinking of the French liner Normandie in the Hudson River in 1942, the collision of the Andrea Doria and the Stockholm in 1956 and the burning of the Yarmouth Castle last year. For many years, Professor Seward was chairman of the advisory board of the United States Coast Guard Academy at New London. Marine engineering is the engineering of boats, ships, submarines, and any other marine vessel. Here it is also taken to include the engineering of other ocean systems and structures referred to in certain academic and professional circles as "ocean engineering". After completing this degree one can join a ship as an officer in engine department and eventually rise to the rank of a chief engineer. This rank is one of the top ranks onboard and is equal to the rank of a ship's captain. Marine engineering is the highly preferred course to join merchant Navy as an officer as it provides ample opportunities in terms of both onboard and onshore jobs. Marine engineering applies a number of engineering sciences, including mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, electronic engineering, and computer Engineering, to the development, design, operation and maintenance of watercraft propulsion and ocean systems. It includes but is not limited to power and propulsion plants, machinery, piping, automation and control systems for marine vehicles of any kind, as well as coastal and offshore structures. Archimedes is traditionally regarded as the first marine engineer, having developed a number of marine engineering systems in antiquity. Modern marine engineering dates back to the beginning of the Industrial Revolution (early 1700s). In 1807, Robert Fulton successfully used a steam engine to propel a vessel through the water. Fulton's ship used the engine to power a small wooden paddle wheel as its marine propulsion system. The integration of a steam engine into a watercraft to create a marine steam engine was the start of the marine engineering profession. Only twelve years after Fulton's Clermont had her first voyage, the Savannah marked the first sea voyage from America to Europe. Around 50 years later the steam powered paddle wheels had a peak with the creation of the Great Eastern, which was as big as one of the cargo ships of today, 700 feet in length, weighing 22,000 tons. Paddle steamers would become the front runners of the steamship industry for the next thirty years till the next type of propulsion came around. 10th Printing (Volume I) and 7th Printing (Volume II).
