bruce d Posted September 26, 2019 Share #1 Posted September 26, 2019 Patterson’s Illustrated Nautical Dictionary, unabridged by Howard Patterson (1891) As the title suggests, lots of pictures and I found some especially interesting. For example, page 58, a boat chock for holding ships’ boats on deck that is notched to allow a clinkerbuilt boat to sit securely; page 55, the knots for a bosuns chair. It is worth a look.

Bob Cleek Posted September 26, 2019 Share #12 Posted September 26, 2019 (edited) Definitely a "keeper!" Thanks for sharing. I've not seen this one before. My first stop in the dictionary department has always been the Oxford Companion to Ships and the Sea, from the publishers of the Oxford English Dictionary. I have a hardcover first edition, but it's now out in a later second edition, hardcover and paperback, and, also accessible on line by subscription: https://www.amazon.com/Oxford-Companion-Ships-Reference-Collection/dp/0198800509 https://www.oxfordreference.com/view/10.1093/acref/9780199205684.001.0001/acref-9780199205684 Edited September 26, 2019 by Bob Cleek bruce d and mtaylor 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
