Ship construction. Ship construction, complex of activities concerned with the design and fabrication of all marine vehicles. Ship construction today is a complicated compound of art and science. In the great days of sail, vessels were designed and built on the basis of practical experience; ship construction was predominantly a skill.

'This book has to be the ultimate in ship construction, very informative and in reviewing this volume I can say that during my studies I have come across other books on the subject, but in my opinion none as good as this. A must for all students and those of us who need a little refreshing now and again.' Nautical Magazine, August 2001 'a very accessible book that makes the reader aware of the many changes in ships and shipyard methods occasioned by technological developments and, in particular, the computer. The subject matter is presented clearly and a great deal of information is contained in the one volume. Those for whom this book is intended will find it very useful for imparting knowledge in a field in which there are few textbooks.' The Naval Architect, September 2001 '.a useful starter to all students of marine sciences and technology' Maritime Journal, June 2001. '.. highly recommended for students in nautical colleges, while those following professional courses in naval architecture will find much that is of value.' Marine Engineers Review '.. should provide a useful starter to all students of naval architecture and ship building.' The Naval Architect 'This book is a comprehensive text exploring the complete ship construction process through seven sections covering the development of ship types, materials and strengths of ships, welding and cutting, shipyard practice, ship structure and outfitting.' Offshore Engineer, October 2004 Good, October 15, 2001 Reviewer: A reader from Germany As a lay in this subject, I found this book most interesting. It's about how a ship is built rather than how it is designed and starts with the basics on welding methods and steel characteristics and goes on from there. It's interesting to compare this book with Reed's Shipbuilding in Iron and Steel from 1868. The multitude of building methods used in 1868 have been narrowed down to an optimum of a few. Also in 1868, although a similar audience was addressed, Reed describes how and not why something was done. With Eyres's book there is the opposite which is where one could be critical. There seems to be a lack in some places of describing how certain manufacturing processes are performed e.g. insuring the fitting of plates to frames, errection process etc. Also I found Muckle's Naval Architecture had a better description of the different framing systems. Nevertheless a very good terse book.

Ship Construction, Seventh Edition, offers guidance for ship design and shipbuilding from start to finish. It provides an overview of current shipyard techniques, safety in shipyard practice, materials and strengths, welding and cutting, and ship structure, along with computer-aided design and manufacture, international regulations for ship types, new materials, and fabrication technologies. Comprised of seven sections divided into 32 chapters, the book introduces the reader to shipbuilding, including the basic design of a ship, ship dimensions and category, and development of ship types. It then turns to a discussion of rules and regulations governing ship strength and structural integrity, testing of materials used in ship construction, and welding practices and weld testing. Developments in the layout of a shipyard are also considered, along with development of the initial structural and arrangement design into information usable by production; the processes involved in the preparation and machining of a plate or section; and how a ship structure is assembled. A number of websites containing further information, drawings, and photographs, as well as regulations that apply to ships and their construction, are listed at the end of most chapters. This text is an invaluable resource for students of marine sciences and technology, practicing marine engineers and naval architects, and professionals from other disciplines ranging from law to insurance, accounting, and logistics.

'Both now retired from teaching, Eyres…and Bruce…update their textbook (first published in 1971) from the 2007 edition. It introduces ship design and shipbuilding practice to advanced undergraduate students of marine sciences and technology. It can also be used as a study guide for the Extra Master examinations, and as background for students of shipbuilding itself.' --Reference & Research Book News, December 2013
