Annotation

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. In thoroughly revising and enlarging this Edition, my aim has been to furnish a complete and up-to-date text book for Candidates preparing for the Board of Trade Examinations. The rapid sale of the 47th edition of this book is proof of its success in still retaining its popularity as a standard work on Seamanship.<br><br>Many important additions have been made, including full explanations and illustrations of the British Signal Manual, a thorough knowledge of this Code being necessary to pass a creditable examination.<br><br>The International Code of Signals has received special attention, numerous examples with illustrations having been clearly set out.<br><br>A chapter on Miscellaneous Questions has been compiled, the Answers to which can only be ascertained by careful reading of the various chapters.<br><br>The Winds and Currents of the Globe and Ocean Passages are not included, as two excellent text books, recommended by the Board of Trade, by Captain Jackson, R.N., have been published; also, Barometer Manual, issued by the Meteorological Office; any of which publications may be had of T.
