Chapter XXX: Appendix: B

THE SEA LIBRARY

The books an officer should have, _and study_, are appended.

Bowditch's American Practical Navigator.
The Navigator's Bible.

Lecky's Wrinkles in Practical Navigation.
No comment needed. An officer who does not know this book—well,
he is simply not all there as an officer.

Bradford's Whys and Wherefores of Navigation.
An American book, of intimate and interesting information on the
subject of navigation. If you want to know "why," own and study
Bradford, it is a book for the man who likes to thoroughly understand
his subject—simple, clear, complete.

Jacoby's Navigation.
A good book for the beginner.

Knight's Seamanship.
The best American work on seamanship, naval and merchant service. The
chapters on ship handling and the higher problems of seamanship are
exceptionally good.

Todd and Whall's Seamanship.
The best book to date for the merchantman.

Walton's Know Your Own Ship.
Information about vessels that every officer aboard ship should
possess.

White's Oil Tank Steamers.
An excellent work by an officer who knows his subject.

Allingham's Weather Signs and How to Read Them.

HANDBOOK FOR THE CARE AND OPERATION OF NAVAL MACHINERY

By Comm. H. C. DINGER, U. S. Navy

Third Edition, Revised and Enlarged by Lieut. Comm. H. T. Dyer, U.S.N.

This new, revised and enlarged edition will be of use to all engineers and will help any one that has to do with nautical matters. The explanations and definitions are so plain that save in a few cases the layman can take up the book and by reading the section he is interested in can understand the point at once. Special care has been exercised to cover all points dealing with the usage on United States vessels. A glance at the book will show the infinite number of things that must be attended to by the engineer, who nowadays is the main factor in the ship's welfare.
