Ships and science : the birth of naval architecture in the scientific revolution, 1600-1800 /Larrie D. Ferreiro.
"In Ships and Science, Ferreiro argues that the birth of naval architecture formed an integral part of the scientific revolution. Using Bouguer's work [Traitâe du navire - Treatise of the ship] as a cornerstone, Ferreiro traces the intriguing and often unexpected development of this new discipline and describes its practical application to ship design in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries"--Dust jacket.
