Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the disaster of the Daphne, a ship that capsized during its launch, killing 124 people. The author, an official tasked with investigating the accident, discovered several problems that contributed to the tragedy, including the ship's low stability and the presence of too many top-heavy structures. As a result of the investigation, the book includes a discussion on the broader issue of improving ship designs and construction methods to increase safety during launches. The author presents a detailed analysis of the contributing factors to the Daphne disaster and explores the evolving understanding of ship stability and safety measures within the shipbuilding industry during that era. By highlighting the need for greater scientific rigor and attention to detail in ship design, this book serves as a valuable resource for naval architects, engineers, and anyone interested in maritime safety.
