Confused Seas”
to
be Marked at WMTC
The tremendous impact that
the 1953 SNAME paper “On the Motions of Ships in Confused Seas”
by Manley St. Denis and Willard J. Pierson, which established the foundation
for rationally predicting seakeeping characteristics of ships, will be again
acknowledged at the upcoming World Maritime Technology
Conference in San Francisco, at the International
Luncheon on Saturday, October 18th.
In
1973, the 20th anniversary was marked at Webb Institute of Naval Architecture:
