First published in 1886, and popular as a reference work ever since, Paasch's marine dictionary is both a comprehensive encyclopedia and an unparalleled introduction for those interested in steam and sailing ships. Equipped with over 35 years of sea-faring experience, he provides an exhaustive explanation of all the principal parts of a ship's structure and equipment, describing the main types of steam and sailing vessels. He also explains knots, bends, hitches and splices, and gives a list of standard measurements. |
