Today the shipyards where the Author and I worked have gone, as have the great
UK shipowning companies we served. David Watson’s book on Practical Ship
Design based on his vast experience reminds us of all that was commendable and
successful in our long shipbuilding history. It may well be one of the most lasting
and valuable products to be carried forward from it.
