This book is included in the Self Reliance Transportation section.
Naval architecture as applied to power workboats
lacks literature; perhaps because bigger game
is more absorbing. When it is realized that the
future inland waterways of this country must be
developed and utilized; also that power boats will
provide the means of avoiding the repetition of
lamentable inefficiency in conveying the products
of our interior to the principal ports or centers of
distribution, proper design will be no small factor
in the solution of the problem.
