Excellent Resource
By A. Downes - July 19, 2007Fredric Henric af Chapman (September 9, 1721 in Gothenburg - August 19, 1808) was a Swedish naval ship architect, promoted to vice admiral in 1791, manager of the shipyard at Karlskrona between 1782-1793. Fredric Henric af Chapman might be the greatest naval architect of the eighteenth century.
At the age of 10, he already designed his first ship. At the age of 15, Chapman moved to Stockholm to learn the art of shipbuilding, during a visit to England in 1741 he was arrested when visiting a shipyard. Upon release, he was offered English service, which he declined. In 1744 he and another person established a shipyard in Gothenburg. Between 1752-56 he studied abroad. In 1757 he was commissioned as a junior shipwright by the Royal Swedish Navy and tasked with designing a couple of shallow draft vessels for the Finnish archipelago or coastal fleet. 1764 he was promoted to senior shipwright.
Chapman's great interest in the theoretical aspects of naval architecture and... read more
For the Aficionado
By D. Johnson - January 6, 2009If you thought that 18th-Century ships were designed on the fly by artisans who did it the way their fathers did
it, read this book. The first 125 pages contain line drawings of dozens of ships and boats with many details of
decks, bracing, etc. The rest (about 25 pages) gives details of experiments relating to profile drag, stability and
other matters, plus dimensions, load-carrying requirements and abilities, armament, supplies to be carried, etc,
etc, etc. A marvelous resource if you are interested in the subject; more than you want to know if you are not.

THE BOOK that created the science of Naval Architecture
By Dalrymple-smith Terrot - June 5, 2008This is a modern reprint of a celebrated classic. Frederik Henrik Chapman was the first analytical ship designer, in that he took a skill that was previously the domain of master shipwrights and formalised it in a rational scientific way that formed the basis of all Naval Architecture ever since.
While the text may be a bit heavy going for anyone but the dedicated enthusiast, the book is overwhelmingly worth it for the wonderful illustrations that make up 75% of the book: the lines plans and the virtuoso perspective drawings that have not been surpassed since.
It is a fascinating insight into the state of the art of ship design in the 17th century, and a beautiful book as well.
