Book excerpt: Now in its 5th edition, Shiphandling for the Mariner is the classic and definitive text on the art of practical shiphandling skills for large, modern commercial vessels. Written by a father and son team of pilots, along with contributions from other expert pilots and shipmasters, this compendium follows a nontechnical format that stresses maneuvers used routinely in the field. The text covers essential maneuvers used in docking, undocking, and shiphandling, plus uncommon maneuvers such as docking at single-point and multiple-buoy moorings, use of anchors in shiphandling, offshore lightering, and transiting of locks and canals. Bridge practices in pilot waters and training techniques, including simulator training are also discussed. Updated for the 5th edition: squat and under keel clearance, current practices for bridge resource management, and the use of laptop navigation systems and ECDIS in pilotage waters. Shiphandling for the Mariner is ideal for those with a foundation of practical knowledge looking to advance and master shiphandling skills that are essential to the marine profession.

Download or read book Like a Wicked Noah s Ark written by Sarah Luke and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Step back in time to 1860s Sydney, when ragged children populated the harbour city's slums, picking pockets and scraping a living selling matches and watercress. Neglected youths formed the city's gangs, thieving and assaulting the unwary. These 'larrikins' often ended up in gaol, and received a thorough criminal education from Fagin-esque professors of the art. In 1867 a solution to this problem was found. Fitted out for the reception of New South Wales' delinquent and abandoned boys, a Nautical School Ship was moored permanently within sight of Circular Quay on Sydney Harbour. The Colony's prisons were drained of their young inmates, and they were herded together in their dozens - and later, hundreds - on board. Like a Wicked Noah's Ark is the full and close-up history of this ground-breaking experiment in juvenile reformation, which operated continuously until 1911 on the Vernon and Sobraon.
