Título: Shiphandling for the Mariner
Autor: Daniel H. MacElrevey
Sinopse: MacElrevey's Shiphandling for the Mariner, first published in 1983, is addressed primarily to the practicing mariner who already possesses some degree of professional knowledge, experience, and training. In a nontechnical style, and with illustrations, the author stresses maneuvers routinely used by working pilots and masters, with special attention to directional stability, shallow water effects, squat, and aids such as variable pitch propulsion, electronic reference instrumentation, and tractor tugs. All maneuvers used in docking, undocking, and shiphandling in restricted waters are covered, as well as less common maneuvers: docking at single point and multiple buoy moorings, use of anchors in shiphandling, offshore lightering, and transiting of locks and canals.
