A Manual of Marine Engineering - Comprising the Designing, Construction, and Working of Marine MachineryPaperback, 2 December 2009

This early work first published in 1890 by A. E. Seaton is both expensive and hard to find in its first edition. Its 543 pages contain a wealth of information on the mechanics and design of marine engineering and include chapters on pistons, propellers, valves and much more. This is a fascinating read for anyone interested in the intricacies of marine machinery during the nineteenth century. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
