Abstract
THE death of Mr. Albert Edward Seaton, which occurred at Hemel Hempstead on Aug. 8, robs British shipbuilding and marine engineering circles of one of its oldest and best known representatives. For nearly half a century Seaton's “Manual of Marine Engineering”—now in its twentieth edition—has been familiar to marine engineers, while his “Pocket Book,” compiled in collaboration with Mr. H. M. Rounthwaite, is to be found in every drawing office. His “Manual” would alone cause his name to be remembered, but he had an almost lifelong association with the Institution of Naval Architects, and during the course of his long career enjoyed the friendship of many of the most distinguished members of his profession.
