Transcriber’s Notes
This e-text is based on the three-volume book ‘Shipbuilding from Its Beginnings,’ from 1895. Inconsistent spelling and hyphenation have been retained; punctuation and typographical errors have been corrected.
Two numerical values are obviously missing in the text; they could not be retrieved from other sources. The missing numbers have been highlighted by triple underscores (___).
The side notes provide links to the corresponding illustrations in volumes II and III. Such links might not be operational in the e-book versions. Footnotes have been moved to the end of the respective section.
