On The Action Of The Rudder, With Special Reference To The Motion Of The Ship While The Helm Is Being Put Over: Paper Read Before The Society Of Naval (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781271697663)

Explore the intricacies of ship handling with William Frederick Durand's detailed analysis, "On The Action Of The Rudder, With Special Reference To The Motion Of The Ship While The Helm Is Being Put Over." Originally presented before the Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers in 1899, this work provides invaluable insights into the hydrodynamics of rudder control and its effect on ship maneuverability.

Durand delves into the physics governing how a rudder influences a vessel's course, offering a comprehensive examination relevant to naval engineers, ship designers, and maritime historians. This treatise remains essential reading for understanding the fundamental principles that govern naval vessel operation and design, offering both historical context and enduring practical knowledge.
