Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the historical methods of naval shipbuilding in the United Kingdom, exploring the impact of improper building, caulking, fastening, and preservation practices on the longevity of ships. The author argues that the rapid decay of ships is not purely accidental, but rather the result of systemic issues within the shipbuilding process, leading to the early onset of fungus, dry rot, and leaks. The book provides a comprehensive examination of the problems inherent in the traditional construction methods and proposes alternative techniques to address these issues. By building ships under cover, using seasoned timber, employing proper caulking and fastening techniques, and ensuring adequate ventilation, the author contends that ships can be made significantly more durable and effective. Furthermore, the book discusses the broader implications of shipbuilding on naval strategy and efficiency, highlighting the potential savings and improvements that could be made by adopting more sustainable and effective shipbuilding practices. Ultimately, this book offers valuable insights into the complexities of naval engineering and provides practical solutions to enhance the durability and performance of ships.
