Boat-Building and Boating
by Daniel Carter Beard
Publisher: Charles Scribner's Sons 1931
ISBN/ASIN: 1462292992
Number of pages: 194
Description:
This is not a book for yacht-builders, but it is intended for beginners in the art of boat-building, for boys and men who wish to make something with which they may navigate the waters of ponds, lakes, or streams. It begins with the most primitive crafts composed of slabs or logs and works up to scows, house-boats, skiffs, canoes and simple forms of sailing craft, a motor-boat, and there it stops.
