Nouveau manuel complet de marine, seconde partie: manoeuvres by Verdier
"Nouveau manuel complet de marine, seconde partie: manoeuvres" by M. Verdier is a practical guide on naval maneuvers written in the early 19th century. The book serves as a comprehensive manual aimed at sailors, particularly those who may lack formal education, emphasizing practical knowledge over theoretical mathematics in the art of navigation and ship handling. At the start of this manual, the author outlines the foundational concepts of ship maneuverability, discussing theprinciples of buoyancy, center of gravity, and the mechanics of sails and movement. Verdier introduces key terms related to nautical maneuvers, elaborating on how wind interactions with sails affect a vessel’s movement in the water. He elaborates on the roles of various elements, including the helm and sail arrangement, to maintain balance and execute effective navigation, especially under challenging conditions like rough seas or strong winds. This opening sets the stage for detailed discussions on specific maneuvers and the practical applications necessary for successful maritime operations. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
