An Essay On The Preservation Of Shipwrecked Persons is a book written by George William Manby in 1812. The book provides a detailed account of the apparatus and methods used for rescuing shipwrecked individuals. Manby was a British inventor and engineer who developed a number of life-saving devices, including the Manby Mortar, a device that could shoot a rope from shore to a stranded ship. In this book, Manby describes the various methods that can be used to rescue people from shipwrecks, including the use of lifeboats, rafts, and other equipment. He also provides a detailed account of the Manby Mortar and how it can be used to rescue people in distress. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of maritime rescue operations and the development of life-saving technology. It is also a fascinating read for anyone interested in the history of seafaring and the dangers that sailors faced in the past.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
