The subject matter is presented in sufficient depth to be of help to more
advanced students on undergraduate programmes in Marine Technology
and Naval Architecture, as well as those preparing for the Extra Master
examination. Students following professional courses in shipbuilding will
also find the book useful as background reading.
Considerable changes have occurred in shipbuilding practice with the
introduction of new technology and this book attempts to present modern
shipyard techniques without neglecting basic principles. Shipbuilding covers
a wide field of crafts and, with new developments occurring regularly, it
would be difficult to cover every facet fully within the scope of the average
ึ
textbook. For this reason further reading references are given at the end of
most chapters, these being selected from books, transactions, and period-
icals which are likely to be found in the libraries of universities and other
technical institutions.
In this edition the author has also added a listing of some useful websites
at the end of most chapters relating to the subject matter of the chapter.
Those listed contain further information, drawings and photographs which
complement the text and/or add further knowledge of the subject. It has not
been possible to make an exhaustive web search and therefore there is
space for students to add further web sites recommended by their tutors or
which they may have found informative.
