Shipbuilding for Beginners

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. This booklet is issued for use by workmen engaged in building ships contracted for by the U. S. Shipping Board, in the hope and confident expectation that it will prove of value to them in their service to the country. Written in simple language and illustrated with clear diagrams, this booklet will serve both as a guide to the activities of a modern American shipyard and a stimulus to patriotic service.
