A most important book that was  derived from the Exhibition of German 
Naval architecture held in Berlin in 1908 which was  presented to 
highlight German advances. Covers every aspect of shipbuilding and 
design from the architecture, to the experimental tanks, the interior 
decoration, painting, kitchens, to ventilation, engines, steam 
turbines, nautical instruments, cranes, docks, pumps, and 
twenty-eight more  sections, showing how a large steamship company 
can effect many industries and how harbors  and docks will need to be 
improved to handle new larger, faster ships. No doubt much studied by 
the British.

Binding very near fine, original wrappers with some minor edge wear 
professionally  repaired, faint browning at edges, correction to text 
tipped in on one page, small marginal chip to corner of one leaf; 
overall a very good+ copy.    [31089] $400.00
