Book Description
Excerpt from A Manual of Marine Meteorology for Apprentices and Officers of the World's Merchant Navies Church Street; others are from various publications of the British Hydrographic Department and the Meteorological Office. My thanks are specially due to the Council of the last-mentioned office for granting me free access to their valuable original documents relating to marine meteorology. My aim is to lay before apprentices and officers of merchant ships such rudiments of marine meteorology as are necessary to ensure safety and quick passages, in the hope that they will thus be induced to follow up the subject in more mathematical treatises. Written without any pretence to what in my sea-going days we termed high-science, this volume is but a friendly offer of assistance from a sailor.
