Ebook: Principles of Naval Architecture (Second Revision), Volume I - Stability and Strength

This resource rates as a necessity for any Naval Architect or engineer working in the marine industry. Although at times difficult to use, the mountains of useful information contained in this particular volume make it indispensable. It includes all the basic "hand” methods for calculating strength and stability in floating structures.
