Nautical Dictionary by Arthur Young

Arthur Young's authoritative 'Nautical Dictionary' blows similar 19th-century dictionaries out of the water. Richly illustrated, it contains a huge amount of terms related to sailing vessels and steamers, navigation, maritime law and commerce, and other martime affairs. In certain cases, the definition of a term is elaborated on. Mr. Young was an average adjuster from Dundee, Scotland. He was assisted in the preparation of the book by James Brisbane, a local shipyard superintendent. The digitised book is courtesy of Columbia University Libraries, New York, (67 MiB, PDF, 516 pages)
