TWO CENTURIES of
SHIPBUILDING
BY THE
SCOTTS AT GREENOCK.
[Partly Reprinted from "Engineering."]
" Take it all in all, a ship of the line is the most honourable thing
that man, as a gregarious animal, has ever produced Into
that he has put as much of his human patience, common sense,
forethought, experimental philosophy, self-control, habits of order
and obedience, thoroughly wrought hand-work, defiance of brute
elements, careless courage, careful patriotism, and calm expectation
of the judgment of God, as can well be put into a space of
300 feet long by 80 feet broad." — Rtjskin.
