Year: 2018 Language: english Author: Daniel H. MacElrevey and Daniel E. MacElrevey Genre: Practical guide Publisher: Schiffer Publishing, Ltd. Edition: 5th ISBN: 978-0-7643-5458-8 Format: PDF Quality: Scanned pages Pages count: 408 Description: The ability to handle a ship, especially in confined waters, is one of the most demanding and satisfying of the mariner's skills. lt is a skill as old as the first ship and as new as the latest vessel to be launched, yet little written material is available to the professional seafarer on shiphandling, and much of what is available is either sparse or inaccurate. Hopefully this volume will help to fill that void so the master, mate, naval officer, and Coast Guard officer will be able to gain some insight into the techniques used by the skilled shiphandler or pilot to move a vessel to her berth. No master or mate of any type of vessel can be considered a fully qualified mariner unless he can handle that ship in a competent and seaman-like manner. This is especially true when considering the classic master/pilot relationship, a relationship that makes it essential for the master to be able to judge whether a pilot's actions are proper and whether the ship is being handled in a safe manner. While it certainly is not possible for the seaman to read this short book and then do the work of a pilot who has spent years refining shiphandling skills, the book will at least help mariners better understand the handling of ships. Until recently, little significant study was done on the behavior of large ships in shallow water. The science of hydrodynamics is now being applied to shiphandling, and much is being learned that will allow the seaman to better predict a ship's behavior. Ships do respond in a predictable manner to the forces of wind, sea, and current, so these studies are important. Years of experience are needed before the shiphandler can put this information into a "real world" perspective. So many variables and so many learned techniques are involved when actually handling ships that shiphandling remains more art than science-and this book's non-mathematical presentation, stressing application over theory, reflects that fact.
