FOREST AND STREAM. 



[Aua. 13, 1885. 



CANOE 



THE Forest ajjd Stream began a year ago the 

 publication of a series of papers on canoe con- 

 struction, by air. W. P. Stephens, of the New York 

 C. C, -widely known as an ejcpert on canoe design 

 and building. These papers, having appeared 

 through the year in our columns, have since been 

 rewritten, ana with numerous additions are now 

 pubhshed in a handsome volume under the title of 

 "Canoe and Boat Building for Amateurs." Mr. 

 Stephens is peculiarly fitted for the preparation of 

 such a work, beginning as an amatem-, and having 

 after a long ex|ierience of the diffleulties attending 

 a learner, taken a prominent place among canoe 

 builders, due both to the model and workmanship 

 of his canoes. Realizing fidly the difficulty of ex- 

 aimng to a novice an art in itself far from easy, 



AND 



and with which he is entirely unfamiUar, the book 

 begins with a description of the various classes of 

 canocs in general u-;e\ with their main features and 

 dimension^;, and definitions of tne t^rmsused in con- 

 nection with them. NMuerous examples of canoes 

 are given, and in connection with thein, such plain 

 instructions in designing as will enable the beginner 

 to select intelligently the proper craft for his pur- 



BOAT 



pose, and to plan her dimen.sions, details and fit- 

 tings. To this end designs of all classes of canoes 

 are given, with fiUI dimensions and details. The 

 objei't has been not merely to enable the tyro to 

 build one boat as described, but to teach him the 

 principles of d» signing and building m such a way 

 that he may construct such a craft as he desire«. 

 jpollowing ! he chapters on de.sigmng, the construc- 

 tion of a canoe is taken up in detail, the tools and 

 appliances beiiig first -clearly described, as well as 

 the various materials, after which follows the actual 

 ■work of hiulding. Every operation is taken ud in 

 order, from the selection of the keel to the varnish- 

 ing of the finished boat, and illustrated with numer- 

 ous diagrams. 



A chapter on sails describes all the varieties in 

 use by cai oeists, do«n to the new Mohican settee, 

 with directions for making, rigging and measuring 

 them, while the methoa of proportioning the sails 

 to the boat is clearly expUiined, all the calcidations 



BUILDING 



being worked out in detail. The many minor points 

 of a canoe, paddles, steering gears, rudders, aprons, 

 and camp eutflt are also described at length,*while 

 a chapter is devoted to canvas canoes. 



The subject of boat buildiQ^; is fully treated, a 

 rowboat of the usual construction bemg taken as 

 an example, and described in all its parts in such a 

 manner as to make clear the principles involved, 

 and their application to any form of boat, either 

 lapsireak or carvel build. Each of the numerous 

 technical terms belonging to the subject is defined 

 clearly when it first occurs, and as the index is full 

 and complete, the book is in itself a glossary. 



In addition to the numerous diagra-ns in the 

 body of the work, twenty-four large plates are 

 printed on bond paper, containing the working 

 drawings of canoes for pa^dlmg, sailing, cruising 



FOR 



and racing, with their sail plans, rowing sailing 

 boats, large canoe yawls, and various boats for 

 special purposes, such as gunm'ng boats, yacht 

 boats, and the widely known sneak box. 



The canoe yawl, a boat between a canoe and a 

 yacht, is illustrated by examples of various craft 

 from 17 to 30ft. long, and suitable for a crew of two 

 or three on a cruise. This class of boat, while Uttle 

 known among us as yet, is admirably fitted for 

 cruising, and will meet the wants of many who 

 object to a canoe as being too small, and yet desire 

 a bsat with the same excellent qualities. The boats 

 and canoes illustrated are in all cases among the 

 best of their class, the list of canoes including Eng- 

 lish, Scotch and American craft, and are all drawn

to scale, so as to be available as working drawings. 

 The plates, for convenience in using, are placed 

 loose in a tough manilla envelope and accompany 

 the book.
