The Institution of Naval Architects

Abstract

THE Annual Meetings of the Institution of Naval Architects were held during the week preceding Easter at the rooms of the Society of Arts. There were five sittings, at which the necessary routine business was transacted, the presidential address of Lord Ravensworth was delivered, and seventeen papers were read and discussed. On the whole the meetings were successful and the papers of good quality, but far too much work was attempted in the time available. It is to be hoped that the growing importance of the proceedings and the improving financial position of the Institution may lead the Executive to arrange for holding regular autumnal sessions at the principal outports, in addition to the spring sessions in London.
