Book Description
Excerpt from The Rudder, Vol. 38: January to December, 1922 Blast my mudhook! It's just ornery jealousy. Honest, we could put two of them in our hold, and still need water-ballast to ride level, and can load or unload ten thousand tons while they're waiting for a pilot to warp them up to the dock. Our Old Man, fer'ard and the Chief, aft, both keep logs to fill up their time and earn their salaries. One of them tosses over a trolling line and counts the number of bites he gets from Minnesota Point to Whitefish Bay. T'other one counts the times his shaft turns over on the same run, and then they compare notes to see who wins. I'm stuck alone up here to die, and while I have a little fight left in me. And before Dad Neptune gets out the harpoon and yanks me to Davy Jones, I'm going to do a little log. Rolling myself. Thursday, Nov. 11 - Under way at last after my weekly shot of ore. Eight thousand tons dumped into my hold in six hours is'nt bad. It's back-breaking how ever, and I shudder each time I get under the hoppers. It seems as though every rib in my side would crack when that stuff comes pounding down into me, It's snowing as we pass the outer piers of Duluth Harbor, and as I look out the hawse pipes I can see a gray, tossing, white-capped sea running on ahead before a Nor'west gale. The swabs are battening down the hatches and jamming home the ports. Soon I start rolling like a groggy souse. As each stinging wave boils up under my stern, I shiver all over like a Scrapper dazed from a stiff uppercut on the jaw. In about two shakes all sight of land is swallowed up in the storm. We lurch along at a pretty good gait, my old rheu matic backbone creaking and grinding worse and worse, and the spray beginning to lay an icy sheet over the after-cabin. The swabs start a poker game in the bunk room, but as fast as they ante in 'their chips I shake them off the table to leeward and bang their heads against the upper bunks, till they get sore and quit. Six o'clock grub is a cheerless job, - plates knocking around the table-rack, and coffee slopping all over the landscape. Some of the colts are pretty green around the gills by now, and sneak off to their bunks in short order. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Marine Rudders and Control Surfaces guides naval architects from the first principles of the physics of control surface operation, to the use of experimental and empirical data and applied computational fluid dynamic modelling of rudders and control surfaces.The empirical and theoretical methods applied to control surface design are described in depth and their use explained through application to particular cases. The design procedures are complemented with a number of worked practical examples of rudder and control surface design. • The only text dedicated to marine control surface design• Provides experimental, theoretical and applied design information valuable for practising engineers, designers and students• Accompanied by an online extensive experimental database together with software for theoreticalpredictions and design development

Book Description
The course keeping and manoeuvring requirements for a ship are governed by international maritime law. In assessing and predicting the course keeping and manoeuvring capabilities of the ship, knowledge is required of the rudder forces necessary to keep a course or facilitate a manoeuvre. The second edition of Marine Rudders, Hydrofoils and Control Surfaces includes up-to-date data and rudder design techniques that enable the rudder forces to be estimated, together with any interactions due to the hull and propeller. The new edition describes the design and application of hydrofoils including shape adaptive design, and their applications including hydrofoil craft, yachts, and kite surfing hydrofoils. The professional will also face the need to design control surfaces for motion control, such as roll and pitch, for surface vessels and submersibles, and the book contains the necessary techniques and data to carry out these tasks.This book is for practicing naval architects and marine engineers, small craft designers, yacht designers, hydrodynamicists, undergraduate and postgraduate students of naval architecture, maritime engineering and ship science, and the broader engineering community involved in the development of marine craft that rely on the generation of ‘lift’ such as control engineers and aerodynamicists. Describes techniques for analyzing the performance characteristics of rudders, hydrofoils, and control surfaces Includes extensive design data and worked examples for the analysis of rudder, hydrofoil and control surface performance Provides a detailed examination of the design of hydrofoils
