LAMENTABLE INTELLIGENCE FROM THE
ADMIRALITY By Chris Thomas Ref: LIA HMS Vanguard sank in thick fog in Dublin Bay in September 1875 rammed by her sister ship. No lives were lost (except perhaps that of the Captain's dog) but this one event provides valuable insight into naval history of the late nineteenth century. Chris Thomas examines what happened, setting it in the context of naval life, the social and economic situation of officers and ratings. He describes the furore caused by the unjust verdict of the Court Martial, vividly illustrating the joys and trials of the seagoing life in the Victorian era, and the tragic effect on the life of Captain Richard Dawkins and his family.

SD14: THE FULL STORY John Lingwood Ref: SD14 The SD14 is almost extinct, and this book is a fitting tribute to a much-admired British-designed cargo ship. Indeed, it should become the definitive history of the SD14 its derivatives. It provides a first-hand account of the SD14's conception and planning from a member of the design team, with many personal insights into the shipbuilding industry of the 1960s. Included are full career details of every SD14, the Prinasa-121s, the SD15 and the three SD18s: a total of 228 ships built by seven yards in four countries. Every ship is illustrated, usually at several stages of its career, 99% in full colour. Member price: UK £30.00 EUR £31.00 OVS £33.50 Non-Member price: UK £33.00 EUR £34.00 OVS £36.50

The narrative begins in the closing days of World War II when a teenager discovers his lifelong vocation. His subsequent career at sea is filled with people and ships, famous and everyday. A life rich in excitement and love, triumph and disaster, humour and laughter unfolds. Whilst this is a biography of a mariner it encompasses naval architecture, architects and the technical complexities of ships. Mr Penny is a companion of RINA.

SHIP DYNAMICS FOR MARINERS I C Clark Ref: SHDM This well illustrated and thoroughly researched book covers the subject of ship motion. Seafarers through ages have known what ship motion is because they experience it. However predicting motion in advance to better control a ship requires knowledge of the physical principles involved. This single volume contains a wealth of information. It is very thought-provoking as well as being very informative. Mr Clark's unique style of illustrating complex hydrodynamic interactions enables this book to reach across the boundaries between naval architect and mariner. Even experienced naval architects and mariners will find much to interest them. The author is to be congratulated in putting across some quite complex physical phenomena in a way which is so easy to follow.

SHIPS AND SHIPBUILDERS: PIONEERS OF SHIP DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION By Fred Walker FRINA Ref: SAS Ships and Shipbuilders describes the lives and work of more than 120 great engineers, scientists, shipwrights and naval architects who shaped ship design and shipbuilding world wide. Told chronologically, such well-known names as Anthony Deane, Peter the Great, James Watt, and Isambard Kingdom Brunel share space with lesser known characters like the luckless Frederic Sauvage, a pioneer of screw propulsion who, unable to interest the French navy in his tests in the early 1830s, was bankrupted and landed in debtor’s prison. With the inclusion of such names as Ben Lexcen, the Australian yacht designer who developed the controversial winged keel for the 1983 America’s Cup, the story is brought right up to date.

SHIPS & WATER By James Paffett FRINA Ref: SHWA This book explains in clear readable and practical language the underlying principles governing the interplay between the ship, her hull form and propulsion with the sea in deep and shallow water. The chapters cover: the nature of water; waves; proximity; foils; fins; and blades; turning corners; fairness and flow; stability and stabilisation; vibration. The book is a result of a lifetime's work as a leading naval architect whose insight will deeply interest anybody involved in taking ships to sea. Well illustrated.

THERE GO THE SHIPS - SECOND EDITION Marshall Meek FRINA Ref: TGTS The author was the Chief Naval Architect and Director of Ocean Fleets. Now, in this finely crafted account he offers an individual perspective of 60 years in the maritime world. He tells of the glorious days when UK shipowners were in their prime before their rapid and ignominious collapse, how merchant shipbuilding sank without trace despite large subsidies, and the 'head in the sand' philosophy of management and unions towards foreign competition. Throughout the book the author touches on his involvement with these major sections, but also with the many supporting activities.
