Pursey H.J. Merchant Ship Construction

Glasgow. Brown Son & Ferguson, 1975. 224 p.This book is addressed to those who are studying for the various grades of Department of Trade Certificates and to all who seek a little more knowledge of the ships that they see, build or sail in. The value of a book lies mainly in the quality rather than the quantity of its contents and a good drawing, combined with a short but clear description, can often be made to take the place of many pages of print.
