Practical Stevedoring – Captain R. Pritchard – Nautical Cargo Handling Manual

Language: English

Book Title: Practical Stevedoring

Author: Captain R. Pritchard

Practical Stevedoring by Captain R. Pritchard, a classic mid-20th-century nautical reference work covering traditional cargo handling, rigging methods, slings, hooks, and port operations.

Published by Brown, Son & Ferguson Ltd, Glasgow, well known maritime and nautical publishers.

This is a practical working manual, heavily illustrated with technical line drawings and photographs showing real-world dockside and shipboard cargo handling methods — material increasingly scarce as containerisation replaced traditional stevedoring practice.

A solid reference for maritime historians, collectors of nautical books, or those interested in working port history.
