Excerpt from A Manual of Elementary Seamanship A new Elementary Manual of Seamanship may perhaps appear, at first sight, superfluous. Its production has been decided on by the Author because of his conviction that none of the many excellent works extant sufficiently meet the needs Of Apprentices and Junior Officers in the Mercantile Marine. This little work is an introductory text - book for beginners; it does not pretend to complete their nautical education, nor in any sense to supersede that practical training in the details of their profession, an intimate acquaintance with which is so unattainable, except in the course of life on board ship.
