Description

This comprehensive dictionary of maritime terminology was first published in 1813 and designed as a reference work for shipbuilders and navigators. It was compiled by the naval historian William Burney and presented a revised and expanded version of the classic Universal Marine Dictionary originally published in 1769 by the poet and lexicographer William Falconer (1732-89). The dictionary with over 800 pages presents technical data on shipbuilding, navigation, the operation of ships, weaponry, and provisions, as well as historical, legal, and medical information.
