Ship Knowledge: A Modern Encyclopedia

“What would a book be like if it included the combined wisdom of a veteran shipmaster,
a seasoned naval architect, a chief engineer and a maritime academy professor?
If such a thing is possible, this kind of vast array of maritime experience is offered in Ship Knowledge:
A Modern Encyclopedia. This book is perhaps the most comprehensive catalog of ship construction
and equipment available anywhere.
Originally published in Dutch, Ship Knowledge resembles David Macaulay’s popular children’s book
The Way Things Work in its accessibility.
Yet it includes highly technical (not for children or novices)
descriptions of each subject.
The author uses full-color illustrations and photographs on each page to explain how all manner of
ships and marine equipment is constructed and repaired.”
(From a review by Twain Braden, quoted by permission of the publishers of Professional Mariner magazine.
For more, see the June/July 2004 issue.)
This splendid book attracted much interest when the English version reached the United States
in 2004. It h as now been twice revised, expanded, and rewritten.
We are pleased to recommend the 3rd (2006) Edition to anyone with a strong technical interest
in today's merchant ships.
