U.S. Navy Ferro Cement Boat Building Manual - Volume 3

This is a record of the building of ten 42-ft. fishing boats in the Bahamas. It illustrates the methods, equipment and organization required to construct ten ferro-cement boats on a remotely situated beach, with relatively unskilled labor. Much of this record is devoted to the fitting out of a ferro-cement boat. It is in some detail, and it concerns one particular design of fishing boat. The construction method chosen was the inverted wooden mold. For hulls up to 50 feet in length, and for utilizing unskilled labor, this method has been shown to be most efficient providing that adequate lifting and rolling gear is available.
