This is a “very good” vintage cloth-wrapped hardcover published in 1943 by the Cornell Maritime Press, 242 pages including index; profusely illustrated with diagrams and illustrations.

First edition.

No loose or torn pages; one lower corner is folded over, no writing. Binding and hinges are intact, not split, text block closes tightly. Board corners are mildly bumped, a little wear on cloth at tips. Text block edges are lightly tanned, most so along top edge. Two fold-out multi-panel ship plans are laid in the back, each copyrighted 1961.

Matching vintage dust wrapper is price clipped inside front flap, otherwise intact. Has a fair amount of edge wear all around with losses at the flap corners and spine edges. Spine is tanned. Now protected in a removable archival sleeve.
