Publisher's Synopsis
"Motor Boats; a Thoroughly Scientific Discussion of Their Design, Construction and Operation" by William Frederick Durand offers a detailed look into the burgeoning field of motorboat technology at the beginning of the 20th century. This comprehensive volume explores the principles behind the design, construction, and operation of early motorboats, providing valuable insights into the engineering challenges and innovative solutions of the era.
Durand's work delves into the hydrodynamics, engine mechanics, and structural considerations crucial for creating efficient and reliable motorboats. With clear explanations and scientific rigor, the book serves as an invaluable resource for historians of technology, marine engineers, and boating enthusiasts interested in understanding the evolution of motor-powered watercraft. It remains a significant contribution to the literature on early automotive and marine technology.
