Excerpt from A Manual of the Examination of Masters and Mates: An Instituted by the Department of Marine and Fisheries of Canada
The section upon Seamanship appears for the first time in this edition, much care has been expended upon it, and it is hoped it will be found useful not only to the applicant for a Certificate of Competency; but also to the Master in actual command of his ship and the Officer in charge of the deck. It is with the greatest pleasure that I have to ac knowledge the assistance which I have received in this particular from Capt. H. J. R. Langdon (in charge of the Government Marine School at Halifax, N. S.) for I have felt that his thorough knowledge of every thing appertaining to a seaman and his long experience in his profession, made all suggestions emanating from him, of the greatest practical value.
The leading lights have been corrected as far as possible to the time of publication, and the Definitions and answers to the questions in the various Examination papers have been made as concise as clearness would allow.
