Book Description

Excerpt from Harbours and Docks, Vol. 1: Their Physical Features, History, Construction, Equipment, and Maintenance With Statistics as to Their Commercial Development Harbours and Docks are treated of in this book in a somewhat similar manner to that adopted for Rivers and Canals in' my previous work, with the h0pe that the two books together may furnish a fairly complete exposition of the principles and prae tice of hydraulic engineering, as applied to navigation and commerce, both inland and marine.
