Industrializing American Shipbuilding: The Transformation of Ship Design and Construction, 1820-1920
William H. Thiesen
Spanning the transition from wood to iron shipbuilding in America, this history tells how nontheoretical methods of shipbuilding began to be discarded by the 1880s in favor of technical and scientific methods. It describes the trans-Atlantic exchange of technical information that took place during this era and the role of the US Navy in that.
