Abstract

While it was in no way intended to produce trained naval architects, the participants w ere introduced to much of the skill, methodology, technology, and foundation knowledge used by naval architects, including physical principles, methods of calculation, design considerations, lines and arrangements, building materials and methods, laws and regulations, economics, and safety. Emphasis was placed upon sketching as a means of communication. Field trips were made to inspect steel and wood shipyards and a modern fishing vessel.
