Abstract
ONE of the prominent questions of the day in naval architecture circles is that of the influence of passing ships upon each other. It has been known for many years that such an influence exists between vessels in confined waters, canals, for example, and for such canals there are usually stringent regulations as to speed and manner of passing of ships. Such conditions are, of course, extreme, but the narrowness and shallowness of the canal, merely intensify a phenomenon which is present in deeper or broader waters, but not always apparent.
