About This Item
[8], VIII, 126, [2 blank] pp.Second issue of the first edition of a rare manual on shipbuilding by Leendert van Zwijndregt, a member of a family of three generations of shipwrights working for the Rotterdam admiralty. It was written as a defence of the Dutch tradition of shipbuilding against the upcoming tendency to look to the French and English traditions. Added at the end is a short treatise on the construction of Dutch merchant ships by C. de Ruiter. Van Bruggen points out that Van Zwijndregt was one of the earliest to propose the new method of calculating a warship's length on the basis of the width of and space between the portholes (Maritime geschiedenis der Nederlanden, p. 45).Extremities slightly browned and some spots to the first and last few leaves, but otherwise in very good condition and wholly untrimmed, leaving all deckles intact.l Bruzelius, p. 50; STCN (9 copies); cf. Bierens de Haan 5481 (first issue); Cat. NHSM, p. 748 (first issue); Crone, Nederlandsche jachten, p. 138; Maritime geschiedenis der Nederlanden III, pp. 45 & 398.
