Descriptionof Work at Sea

For millennia, ships have been used to fish, transport passengers and cargo, and convey divers to specific locationswhether for harvesting marine life, salvaging wrecks, or conducting scientific studies. Anchors must be raised or lowered, rigging adjusted, and cargo loaded, stowed, and ultimately delivered. Utilizing navigation, equipment, and specialized proceduresand regardless of the vagaries of wind and wavesships must be safely steered to their destinations; moreover, they must communicate with other vessels or with shore, all while operating within a framework that encompasses aspects such as efficiency and safety. From both scientific and historical perspectives, this book explores innovations in the hardware and methods employed in work performed on (and beneath) the sea. With a focus on the functional mechanics of the technology, this vivid and richly illustrated account traces the evolution of the technologies and procedures that have emerged over centuries of seafaring.
