A History of SNAME
When The Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers (SNAME) was started in 1893, private
shipbuilding was at a low level; naval shipbuilding was beginning to stir; steel was fighting for acceptance
as a material for ship hulls; and welding, refrigeration, electronics and high pressure steam were all still
over the horizon. Yet in 1893 there were already flourishing abroad several professional marine-oriented
societies which were providing their members with vital service and with the means of self-expression.
Marine professionals in the United States wanted similar satisfaction, and with men like William H. Webb,
Francis T. Bowles, David W. Taylor and Clement Griscom to lead the way, our Society came into being
that year. The Articles of Incorporation were signed on April 28, 1893.
The objectives, adopted in 1893 and restated in 1988, are detailed in the Society Bylaws, but very briefly
stated they are: to advance the state of the art; to afford facilities for the exchange of information and ideas;
to disseminate the results of research, experience and information among the members; to encourage and
sponsor such research; to cooperate with educational institutions; and to promote the professional integrity
and status of the members.
The progress of the Society from 1893 to November 1941, when its first Section was organized in
Philadelphia, was steady and solid. Membership had risen to just over 2,000; several graduate scholarships
had been awarded; ad hoc committees had carried out special technical investigations; and the textbooks
Principles of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering had been published. Technical progress over that
same period saw the adoption of welding in ship construction, the use of oil as fuel, and the introduction
of diesel engines and steam turbines for ship propulsion.
The period from the end of World War II to the present has seen the biggest growth of the Society. Membership
has increased from 2,000 to currently about 8,000. Sixteen more Sections have been added, the latest being
the Greek Section, established in 2002. The Society’s two technical journals were established and several
more text and reference books were published, three of which have been extensively updated. Prizes and
awards were created and a Technical and Research program of unusual scope and quality for a technical
society emerged.
The post-war period also saw the introduction of nuclear power, gas turbines, large diesel engines,
containerization and offshore drilling. Innovations such as surface effect ships, barge-carrying ships,
vessels for the transport of liquefied natural gas and chemicals, and many other technological advances in
ship design, ship construction, hydrodynamics and computer applications and the start of man’s concern
with “inner space” – the sea – arose during this period. The standards and objectives laid down by our
founders in 1893 have stood the test of time. They have provided the firm foundation upon which this
Society is based and respected worldwide.

Stability and Safety of Ships: Risk of Capsizing
V.L. Belenky & N.B. Sevastianov
2007, 445 pages, 3 lbs, hardcover
ISBN 0-939773-61-9
List: $85.00; Members: $60.00; Student Members: $50.00
This book deals with the many modern approaches to analyze ship dynamic stability and capsizing. The
emphasis is on probabilistic assessment of ship dynamic stability. However, in order to evaluate ship
dynamic stability and capsizing one must first formulate the nonlinear ship dynamics problem. This book
will do much to raise the level of understanding of ship dynamic stability research to that of hydrodynamics
and structures, and paves the way to consideration of ship stability safety as one aspect of the up-andcoming
discipline of nonlinear dynamics of ships.

The cruising life offers adventure, exotic destinations, and expansive opportunities for personal growth. But
considering such a life leads to vexing questions: What do I need to learn? What do I do if my partner falls
overboard? How will our relationship be tested at sea? Let longtime cruiser and circumnavigator Diana Jessie
start you on the journey of a lifetime with her advice on short-term cruising or long-term voyaging. She addresses
the concerns of women cruisers, including: -Cruising roles and relationships -What life at sea is really
like -Children on board -How to make the boat your home as well as his-Identifying the dangers and putting
them into perspective . . . and more Plan for smooth cruising with advice from Sally Bee Brown, a contributing editor to PassageMaker
magazine; Carol Cuddyer, cofounderof Sea Sense, a sailing and powerboating school for women; Dawn Riley, noted
America’s Cup and Whitbread sailor; Patience Wales, two-time circumnavigator and editor emeritus of SAIL; and thirty other
cruisers. This updated edition also contains information on powerboating (including choosing between power and sail), cruising
with pets, and satellite communication. “A little gem . . . packed with useful information.”--Sailing “Every woman who intends to
