This book examines the scientific evolution surrounding theories of nautical design and sailing ship stability during the 18th and 19th centuries, offering a detailed exploration of the work of key thinkers and scientists. The book begins by introducing foundational ideas on hydrostatics and ship design as understood by Archimedes, with later chapters exploring the groundbreaking theories of naval architect Daniel Bernoulli. Bernoulli's writings proposed a link between the oscillation of rolling ships and the motion of waves, yielding important new insights into the problem of preventing ships from capsizing. The author provides a thorough analysis of Bernoulli's theories, highlighting their strengths and limitations, and exploring the subsequent debate and research that his work inspired. Ultimately, the book offers a valuable perspective on the development of modern naval architecture and the scientific understanding of seafaring.
