Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A fascinating historical account…A snapshot of the American Dream culminating with this country’s mid-century greatness” (The Wall Street Journal) as a man endeavors to build the finest, fastest, most beautiful ocean liner in history. The story of a great American Builder at the peak of his power, in the 1940s and 1950s, William Francis Gibbs was considered America’s best naval architect. His quest to build the finest, fastest, most beautiful ocean liner of his time, the SS United States, was a topic of national fascination. When completed in 1952, the ship was hailed as a technological masterpiece at a time when “made in America” meant the best. Gibbs was an American original, on par with John Roebling of the Brooklyn Bridge and Frank Lloyd Wright of Fallingwater. Forced to drop out of Harvard following his family’s sudden financial ruin, he overcame debilitating shyness and lack of formal training to become the visionary creator of some of the finest ships in history. He spent forty years dreaming of the ship that became the SS United States. William Francis Gibbs was driven, relentless, and committed to excellence. He loved his ship, the idea of it, and the realization of it, and he devoted himself to making it the epitome of luxury travel during the triumphant post-World War II era. Biographer Steven Ujifusa brilliantly describes the way Gibbs worked and how his vision transformed an industry. A Man and His Ship is a tale of ingenuity and enterprise, a truly remarkable journey on land and sea.

Book Synopsis John Lenthall by : Stephen Chapin Kinnaman
Download or read book John Lenthall written by Stephen Chapin Kinnaman and published by Vernon Press. This book was released on 2022-03-31 with total page 586 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many stirring words have been written about the heroic deeds of the officers and men of the U.S. Navy before, during and after the Civil War. But very little has been published about the naval constructors who built the warships that made their exploits possible. Of all of the Navy's constructors from this era, none had more impact than John Lenthall (1807-1882). A native of Washington D.C. and the son of ambitious English parents, young Lenthall's stellar rise through the ranks of naval constructors soon led to his appointment as the chief of the Bureau of Construction, Equipment and Repairs. Now the U.S. government's highest-ranking naval architect, John Lenthall was in charge of designing and constructing the nation's warships. The magnificent Merrimack class steam frigates were one of his first achievements. His stance early in the Civil War on ironclads and coolness toward John Ericsson have been consistently misunderstood-Lenthall accepted the Navy's need for armored warships but objected to a fleet of only brown water-capable monitors. When he retired in 1871, he had been bureau chief for over seventeen years and responsible for the building of nearly all the Navy's ships during an era of unprecedented technological evolution. 'John Lenthall: The Life of a Naval Constructor' is thoroughly documented with previously untapped primary archival source material from Philadelphia's Independence Seaport Museum and the Franklin Institute, and the U.S. Naval Academy Museum. 'John Lenthall' is written by a historian and naval architect who can clearly explain the nuances of ship design. The author's treatment of Lenthall and the legacy of his fellow constructors brings to life a previously untold chronicle of American ingenuity and achievement

Book excerpt: "Overnight Code is a must-read for anyone seeking inspiration to overcome social barriers and to shatter glass ceilings." —Carolyn Porter, Marcel's Letters: A Font and the Search for One Man's Fate The inspiring story of a groundbreaking African American female engineer who created the first computer-designed ship for the US Navy Raye Montague was an ambitious little girl in segregated Little Rock. She grew to be a woman who spent a lifetime educating herself, both inside and outside of the classroom, so that she could become the person and professional she aspired to be. Where some saw roadblocks, Montague only saw hurdles that needed to be overcome. Her mindset helped her become the first person to draft a Naval ship design by computer, using a program she worked late nights to debug. She did this as a single mother during the height of the Cold War, all the while imbuing her son with the hard-won wisdom she had accumulated throughout the years. Equal parts coming-of-age tale, civil rights history, and reflection on the power of education, Overnight Code is a tale about persistence and perseverance when the odds against you seem insurmountable.

Bates directed the renovation of the steamer "Avalon" into the "Belle of Louisville", designed the steamboat "Natchez" and was involved in the planning, building or renovation of many other riverboats. “Naval Architect” is the true story of Alan L.

Bates tells his stories in the same witty and refreshing style he did when telling stories in person at so many occasions, whether sitting on the lazy bench of the pilot house of the Belle of Louisville or on the sofa of his home in Louisville, Kentucky – in his very own style of storytelling that everyone who knew him did love so much.

Book Synopsis I Fathered a Goddess - Autobiography of a Naval Scientist by : Ian Yuille
Download or read book I Fathered a Goddess - Autobiography of a Naval Scientist written by Ian Yuille and published by Bright Pen. This book was released on 2012-11 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr Yuille had a long and distinguished career in naval architecture. This book covers nearly ninety years of his life, from childhood to retirement, during which he had his share of joy and tragedy. His work is described without going too deeply into technicalities and the reader is referred to his published technical papers for the details. Dr Yuille had to fight prejudice against computers and reluctance to accept new ideas. He says what led him in a particular direction and what difficulties he had to overcome. Ian Yuille served a wartime apprenticeship at Vickers-Armstrongs (Shipbuilders) Ltd. and then studied Engineering at Glasgow University. After two and a half more years in the Ship Design Office at the shipyard he returned to Glasgow to take up a post graduate scholarship. His research concerned the strength of ships and in 1952 Dr Yuille joined the Naval Construction Research Establishment, Dunfermline. He was quick to see the enormous potential of digital computers for solving structural problems and became known internationally through his published papers on the strength of ships. In 1960 Dr Yuille became Advisor on design of structures to the navy's ship designers at Bath. In 1966 he transferred to the Admiralty Research Laboratory, Teddington, to develop techniques for computer-aided design of ships, achieving international recognition in this new field of research. The work led to the very successful computer-aided ship design system known as GODDESS. It was described as the most advanced system of its kind in the world and the Royal Institution of Naval Architects awarded him its prestigious gold medal. The narrative includes the human story underlying this success. After retiring from the Civil Service Dr Yuille spent several years as a Senior Research Fellow at the Institute of Sound and Vibration Research, Southampton. His wife died but he had a busy retirement.
