Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
The focus of this book is on shiphandling of large, modern commercial vessels. Unique in its emphasis on the art of shiphandling and maneuvers for such vessels, it is a classic work designed to teach mariners and pilots practical ship[handling skills. The book is used as a text by maritime academies, shiphandling training facilities, and by ship's officers and apprentice pilots studying the art and science of shiphandling and piloting. The text is a compendium of shiphandling information written by a father and son team of pilots with contributions from other pilots and shipmasters who provided material relating to their specialized skills.
