The Resistance of Ships is a book written by William Froude in 1888. Froude was a British naval architect and engineer who made significant contributions to the development of ship design and testing. The book provides an in-depth analysis of the resistance that ships encounter when moving through water, and the methods used to measure and reduce this resistance. Froude's work was based on experimental research and mathematical calculations, and he was able to develop a series of formulas that could predict the resistance of a ship based on its size, shape, and speed. The book covers a wide range of topics related to ship resistance, including the effects of waves, the use of models for testing, the design of hulls and propellers, and the use of steam engines for propulsion. The Resistance of Ships is considered a classic work in naval architecture and engineering, and it has been widely used as a reference by ship designers and researchers for over a century. Froude's contributions to the field of ship design have had a lasting impact on the development of modern ships, and his work continues to be studied and applied today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
