David Watson Taylor (1864-1940), naval architect and engineer, made
a very impressing career in the US Navy. He developed the first
experimental ship model basin for the United States and became the
Navy's chief constructor during WWI. His books about the building
and operation of ships contain the most important scientific
findings and leading ideas in the field of late 19th and early 20th
century naval engineering. Taylor's explanation of ship resistance
and screw propulsion is clearly structured and the texts are easy
to follow. Multiple illustrations and charts complete the
descriptions. Reprint of the original edition from 1893.
