With all the fuss over ships terms here, I finally broke down and bought a NON-Titanic specific reference book (God forbid)!
It is:
"The Oxford Companion to Ships and the Sea"
Paperback - 971 pages Reprint edition (August 1994)
Oxford Univ Pr (Trade);
ISBN: 0192820842 ;
Price: $29.95 - Amazon Price: $23.96
Dimensions (in inches): 1.83 x 9.22 x 6.19
It is LOADED with every technical term you can possibly think of and with lots of diagrams.
I would be willing to bet that many of the regulars here already own this book.
