The Principles and Practices of Ship Stability (First Published 1984)
By Capt. L.G. Taylor, Extra Master M.N.

This book takes a young officer through the initial principles, gradually introducing him to practical problems and calculations. And finally correlating those early principles into consideration of how best they may be applied.

The sections into which the book has been divided are similar to those which have been used for some years in order to achieve continuity in examination and preparation while the numerous examples and exercises are mostly actual examples set at the examinations and also experienced in service.

The principles of transverse and longitudinal stability are dealt with at length; the form of design and the curves applicable are treated simply; balloting is discussed from the point of view of an officer strange to a ship and thus unfamiliar with her ballast qualities, while the problems likely to be experienced when dry-docking a ship are given careful consideration.
