Book excerpt: Excerpt from Minutes of Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers, Vol. 155: With Other Selected and Abstracted Papers It is my purpose in this Address to attempt a review of the progress of shipbuilding and engineering during the forty-four years that have elapsed since I commenced my apprenticeship as a lad of fourteen. The story will deal chiefly with things I have personally seen or known, and it is worth telling; but so wide is the range and so eventful the narrative that it is impossible to do it justice. My endeavour, therefore, will be to indicate the great lines of advance and the principal results achieved, while not leaving altogether unnoticed possibilities of the immediate future. Before dealing with these questions, however, there are some matters of general interest, although of a domestic character, to which brief reference must be made.
