Iron Ship-Building - With Practical Illustrations (Hardcover)

Originally published in 1868, this early work on Iron ship building is both expensive and hard to find in its first edition. Chapters include; Early history of iron vessels - Construction of iron vessels - Machines and tools used in ship building and iron ships for government services plus many more. This is a comprehensive and informative look at the subject. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
