Illustrated with drawings and photographs throughout. Tables. Glossary. Index. Many hundreds of wood naval vessels were built to serve the United States Navy during World War II. From the new 1948 preface: "The satisfactory performance of these wooden craft was largely attributable to a number of recent developments in wood laminating extreme-service adhesives and wood preservatives for decay and marine borer protection. It is believed that WOOD : A MANUAL FOR ITS USE IN WOODEN VESSELS fills a need for collected information on wood and contains hitherto unpublished results of recent investigations and tests. This information is presented as it applies to the design construction repair and maintenance of these ships and boats for the use of naval architects Supervisors of Shipbuilding Inspectors of Naval material and officers and men." .
