Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Design and Construction of Power Workboats
In general power workboats may be classified under three main headings: First, service in which engaged second, material of which constructed; and third, type and arrangement of propelling machinery.
With respect to service, the first consideration is whether the waters navigated are to be open or sheltered; that is, whether the vessel is to go to sea or to Operate in rivers and harbors.
