The Elements of Wood Ship Construction
Written in 1919 by W.H. Curtis has over 230 pages. "This text on wood shipbuilding was prepared by W. H. Curtis, Portland, Oregon, for the Education and Training Section of the Emergency Fleet Corporation. It is intended for the use of carpenters and others, who, though skilled in their work, lack the detail knowledge of ships necessary for the efficient performance of their work in the yard... For purposes of publication the subject matter as presented to this class has been completely revised and enlarged, and while it is realized that it still falls short of presenting every detail of the ship, it is hoped that the subject has been sufficiently covered to afford a valuable guide and aid to workmen and students."
Wooden Ship-Building
By Charles Desmond in 1918, is 229 pages in length. "The object of this book is to place at the disposal of builders of wood ships some much needed information about construction and equipment. Each principal part of a vessel's construction is explained, the information being arranged in such a manner that the reader can either use the book for reference purposes and quickly obtain from it desired information about any selected part of hull or equipment, or he can read the book as one continuous story covering the construction and equipment of a vessel.
Boat-Building and Boating
Written by DC Beard in 1931 is 200 pages in length. "This is not a book for yacht-builders, but it is intended for beginners in the art of boat-building, for boys and men who wish to make something with which they may navigate the waters of ponds, lakes, or streams. It begins with the most primitive crafts composed of slabs or logs and works up to scows, houseboats, skiffs, canoes and simple forms of sailing craft, a motorboat, and there it stops."
Canoe and Boat Building
A Complete Manual For Amateurs was written in 1889 by WP Stephens and is 264 pages in length. "The character and object of this book are set forth on its title page. It is a manual designed for the practical assistance of those who wish to build their own canoes."
Ancient and Modern Ships
By Sir George C. V. Holmes is a 170 page book, with 74 illustrations. "An endeavour has been made in this handbook, as far as space and scantiness of material would permit, to trace the history of the development of wooden ships from the earliest times down to our own."
