The Loss of H.M.S. Captain: Illustrating a New Principle of Naval Architecture is a book written by Edmund Gardiner Fishbourne in 1870. The book is a detailed account of the sinking of the HMS Captain, a British warship that sank in 1870 due to structural flaws in its design. Fishbourne's book provides a comprehensive analysis of the events leading up to the disaster, as well as the subsequent investigations and inquiries that followed. The book is particularly noteworthy for its discussion of a new principle of naval architecture that was being developed at the time. Fishbourne argues that the traditional methods of shipbuilding were insufficient for the demands of modern warfare, and that new designs were needed to ensure the safety and effectiveness of naval vessels. Overall, The Loss of H.M.S. Captain is a fascinating historical document that sheds light on the development of naval technology during the Victorian era. It is a must-read for anyone interested in naval history, engineering, or military strategy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
