DESCRIPTION:
The American Merchant Seaman's Manual has been the primary seamanship text and reference book for the American Merchant Marine for more than sixty years. This manual is designed to provide the knowledge that these new seamen need to embark upon their careers at sea. Merchant mariners going to sea for the first time need to know as much about their new job, their ship, the sea, and the Merchant Marine as they can. The Merchant Marine is composed of all the commercial ships of a country and the personnel that man them. Since the sixth edition was published in 1981, many changes have been made in each new printing. Changes in this new edition include a new chapter on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers, data on merchant fleets throughout the world, a revised chapter on wire rope, and a bibliography for sources of additional reading.

This is one of the classic texts for mariners learning their trade. Even after going to sea for more than "A classic" according to David Henderson. This is one of the classic texts for mariners learning their trade. Even after going to sea for more than 20 years I find myself going back to review topics. I also use it for training OSs and new ABs. The only down side is that it doesn't address the new line constructions in detail.. 0 years I find myself going back to review topics.

This is a great book, I sadly believe I have lost mine however. I am not unable to function without it, so I have no need to get it again, but it was indeed a great book. Seller was easy and fair, and shipping was just fine as well, no delays :)
