Excerpt from The New Examiner in Seamanship, Being the Seamanship Required of Candidates for Certificates of Competency Both in the Ordinary and Extra Examinations, Arranged in Questions and Answers: With Plates of the International Code of Signals, British Signal Manual, Etc In thoroughly revising and enlarging this Edition, my aim has been to furnish a complete and up-to-date text book for Candidates preparing for the Board of Trade Examinations. The rapid sale of the 47th edition of this book is proof of its success in still retaining its popularity as a standard work on Seamanship. Many important additions have been made, including full explanations and illustrations of the "British Signal Manual," a thorough knowledge of this Code being necessary to pass a creditable examination. The "International Code of Signals" has received special attention, numerous examples with illustrations having been clearly set out. A chapter on Miscellaneous Questions has been compiled, the Answers to which can only be ascertained by careful reading of the various chapters. The Winds and Currents of the Globe and Ocean Passages are not included, as two excellent text books, recommended by the Board of Trade, by Captain Jackson, R.N., have been published; also, Barometer Manual, issued by the Meteorological Office; any of which publications may be had of T. L. Ainsley, Mill Dam, South Shields. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
