Abstract
BY the sudden death of Sir William White on February 27, at sixty-eight years of age, the country has lost one of her best sons and engineering science one of its leading authorities. Sir William White was born at Devonport in 1845, and started his professional life by leaving a private school in the town, in which he was at the time “head boy,” and becoming a shipwright's apprentice in Devonport Dockyard.
