THE MAPLE PRESS YORK PA GENERAL PREFACE ------------- Preface to Pamphlet, Part I, issued by the United States Shipping Board Emergency Fleet Corporation, for use in its classes in Wood Shipbuilding. This text on wood shipbuilding was prepared by W. H. Curtis, Portland, Oregon, for the Education and Training Section of the Emergency Fleet Corporation. It is intended for the use of carpenters and others, who, though skilled in their work, lack the detail knowledge of ships necessary for the efficient performance of their work in the yard. Sea-going vessels are generally built according to the rules of some Classification Society, and all important construction and fastening details have to be passed upon by the Classification Society under whose inspection the vessel is to be built. Due to this fact, requirements may vary in detail from types of construction here explained. It is hoped, however, that this book may be helpful to shipbuilding classes and to individual men in the yard.

    "The past is never dead. It's not even past." William Faulkner NOT EVEN PAST Search the site ... A History of the World in Like 0 Sixteen Shipwrecks, by Tweet Stewart Gordon (2015) By Cynthia Talbot The world’s attention was captured in 2012 by the disaster that befell the Costa Concordia, a cruise ship that ran aground off the coast of Italy leading to 32 deaths. This shipwreck is the most recent one covered in A History of the World in Sixteen Shipwrecks, whose expansive gaze covers much of the world from 6000 BCE to the present. Like several other books containing the words “A History of the World in ..” in their title, Stewart Gordon’s work attempts to encapsulate world history through the close study of a set number of things. Other examples of this approach include A History of the World in 100 Weapons, A History of the World in 12 Maps, A History of the World in 6 Glasses, and the very successful A History of the World in 100 Objects, a collaborative project between BBC Radio and the British Museum. Focusing on a few cases as a way to illustrate global trends is both entertaining and effective – the reader can acquire interesting details about specic things and learn about the broader context at the same time. Recovery operations on the Costa Concordia (via Wikimedia Commons). Shipwrecks are dramatic occurrences that are often tragic for those involved, but they can also lead to the preservation of artifacts that can be studied and analyzed, sometimes centuries or millennia after the events themselves.

  • European Ships of Discovery
    European Ships of Discovery Filipe Castro Texas A&M University [email protected] Abstract The ships and boats of the 15th and early 16th century European voyages were the space shuttles of their time, and yet we don’t know much about them because most have been destroyed by looters and treasure hunters. This paper will focus on a particular type, the caravel, and presents an overview of the early European watercraft that crossed the Atlantic and sailed along the American coasts during the first decades of the 16th century. Key words: caravel, 16th Century, Europe, ships, looting Introduction The earliest Iberian voyages into the Atlantic were carried out in the existing ships. Soon however the need to adapt the existing watercraft to the sailing conditions of the open sea triggered a process of evolution that is poorly understood, but that reflects the existing cultural, scientific and economic conditions in the Iberian kingdoms. This is an interesting process of technological evolution that is in its earliest states of investigation. The main ships of the European expansion were sailing ships, mainly caravels, naus, and galleons. Rowing ships were also used in the European factories abroad, sometimes shipped in the holds of sailing ships, and sometimes built in Africa and Asia, in the beginning according to European standards, but very soon incorporating local features as they were understood as advantageous. This paper deals with caravels, a versatile and small ship type that is still poorly understood. Caravels Caravels are among the least understood of all historical vessels. Mentioned in hundreds, perhaps thousands of books, these ships are associated with the Iberian exploration of the Atlantic in the 15th century, and are considered the space shuttles of their time, allowing the Portuguese and Spanish explorers to sail down the African coast, and open the maritime routes to the Caribbean, the west coast of Africa, and the Indian and Pacific Oceans.

Department of The University of British Columbia 1956 Main Mall Vancouver, Canada V6T 1Y3 DE-6(3/81) ii ABSTRACT Voyages of discovery could not be entertained until the advent of three-masted ships. Single-sailed ships were effective for voyages of short duration, undertaken with favourable winds. Ships with two masts could make long coastal voyages in the summer. Both these types had more or less severe limitations to sailing to windward. To sail any ship successfully in this mode it is necessary to be able to balance the sail plan accurately. This method of keeping course could not reach its full developemnt until more than two sails were available for manipulation.

  • 2006 Metal Building Systems Manual
    2006 Metal Building Systems Manual 50th Anniversary Edition METAL BUILDING MANUFACTURERS ASSOCIATION 1300 Sumner Avenue Cleveland, Ohio 44115 Copyright © 2006 Metal Building Manufacturers Association, Inc. All rights reserved PREFACE The MBMA Metal Building Systems Manual incorporates the results of research undertaken by MBMA, its member companies and other industry groups. In many respects, it reflects refinement and advances in the knowledge of load application methods and design. This edition of the Metal Building Systems Manual replaces the 2002 edition, and its release coincides with the 50th anniversary of the Metal Building Manufacturers Association. Most municipalities in the United States have now adopted a building code. In the past, where a building code did not govern the design, the recommended loads in the MBMA Low-Rise Building Systems Manual (the predecessor to the Metal Building Systems Manual) were often specified. In recognition of the decreased need for MBMA loads, the Metal Building Systems Manual now focuses on how to apply the loads specified by the International Building Code and ASCE 7. Although the information in the new manual can be applied to low-rise buildings in general, it concentrates on issues related to design, code compliance and specification of metal building systems. Use of this manual is totally voluntary. Each building manufacturer or designer retains the prerogative to choose its own design and commercial practices and the responsibility to design its building systems to comply with applicable specifications and safety considerations. Although every effort has been made to present accurate and sound engineering and design information, MBMA assumes no responsibility whatsoever for the application of this information to the design or construction of any specific building system.
