Although intended primarily for officers and men of the Royal Navy, this revised edition of Volume III of the Admiralty Manual of Seamanship will be of great value to all who put to sea in ships and boats. Like the elementary Volumes I and II it is arranged in four parts, 'Ship Knowledge and Safety', Seamanship', 'Ship organisation' and 'Ship Handling and Navigation', so that the reader may pursue any subject from one volume top another without difficulty. The book includes a new chapter on sagety arrangements in merchant ships derived from the 1960 International Conference of Safety of Life at Sea, and a comprehensive guide to shiphandling under all circumstances, embodying the standard instructions to Captains on the subject which have not yet previously been available to the public. 403 pp.
