Excerpt from The Atlantic Ferry: Its Ships, Men, and WorkingIt may perhaps be thought that the chapters relating to the working and management are somewhat brief, but in a book of this kind it would not serve any purpose to describe minutely the minor details of the various depart ments, or duties appertaining to individuals, consequently, only such leading points are described as would serve to show the general system by which the organization is carried on.The chapters devoted to a description of the inspection made by the Governmental Supervising Authorities will, I trust, be reassuring to those who, for health, pleasure, or business, are constantly travelling by the great Liners, as they fully explain the careful and searching nature of the inspection and survey which is made periodically by an able staff of Surveyors, to insure safety under all circum stances, and as these gentlemen are solely in the service of their respective Governments, they are removed from all liability of being in¿uenced by any personal interest or question of cost to the shipowners, which may be entailed by the due fulfilment of the requirements enacted from time to time.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
