Panels ~
A highlight
of this year’s Technical Program is the addition of
two major panel discussions:
-
Cruise
Ship Panel Session: "Challenges in the Cruise Ship
Industry….Design, Construction, Safety and Operations"
-
Shipbuilders'
Panel Discussion
Each
panel will consist of five distinguished representatives from
these industry sectors and will be moderated by a recognized
expert. These panel discussions will be scheduled as plenary
sessions, to avoid conflict with other events and to encourage
full attention and participation.
~
President's Reception ~
SNAME
is pleased to announce the Lloyd’s Register Group as
the first-ever sponsor of the President’s Reception.
Traditionally, the President’s Reception opens the SNAME
Maritime Technology Conference where all Conference registrants
gather to enjoy hors d’oeuvres and cocktails. This year,
in response to exhibitor feedback, the eagerly anticipated
event will be held in the Expo Hall, a wonderful way for exhibitors
to visit with all Conference attendees in a social environment.

Ship Design and Construction
Volumes I and II
Ship
Design and Construction is a professional reference without parallel
for designers, builders, owners, and operators as well as a textbook
for students. This edition acknowledges the international applicability
of its content and the growing international influence of the
Society in geographical diversity of its authors.
While
the content of this edition is entirely new and up to date, the
philosophy of the preceding editions is retained: the book again
addresses the practical aspects of ship design and shipbuilding
that are relevant to the ship owners and operators as well as
to the designers and builders. Expanding the book to two volumes
with 55 chapters, permitted an enormous increase in the breadth
and depth of content. Professor Thomas Lamb’s diligence
and persistence as Editor has rewarded the Society and the profession
with a book that is virtually a whole professional library in
two volumes.
You
can order Ship Design and Construction online at www.sname.org
or by contacting Tommie-Anne Faix (tfaix@sname.org
or 201-499-5068). |

Mahogany Speedboat Commemorative Stamps
The
US Postal Service has issued new Vintage Mahogany Speedboats
commemorative stamps. The four historic wooden motorboats, built
by four different manufacturers, are still in use today:
Frolic,
a 1915 Hutchinson Brothers launch.
Dispatch, a 1931 Gar Wood triple cockpit runabout.
Thunderbird, a 1939 Hacker-Craft commuter boat.
Duckers, a 1954 Chris-Craft Racing Runabout.
The
selvage, the decorative area around the stamps, features a photograph
of a modern recreation of Miss Columbia, originally built in
1924.
