America's cup
1851
-1992 : the official record of America's Cup XXVIII and the Louis Vuitton Cup
"In 1851 the yacht America ventured to England and beat 15 of Britannia's best. [...] One hundred and forty-one years later, the America's cup - the oldest trophy in sports - remains the ultimate symbol of excellence and national achievement. The competition flourishes because it combines physical skill, courage, technology, execution, and intelligence unlike any other sport. And in 1992 more nations than ever before competed for the most coveted prize in sailing. America's Cup 1851 to 1992: The Official Record of America's Cup XXVIII & the Louis Vuitton Cup, is the ultimate America's Cup book. An oversized glossy coffee table book of 208 pages, it is packed with more than 250 full-color photographs and illustrations, and authoritative text. Six of the world's preeminent yachting photographers worked with the Michael Levitt, the internationally respected author and journalist, to provide an in-depth look at the rich history and intense competition. America's Cup 1851 to 1992 traces the design and development of the new boats and the honing of men and machinery. It features profiles of the players, chronicles the drama of the races, and provides a portrait of the 141-year history of the America's Cup".--Provided by the publisher.

William Denny and Brothers, Shipbuilders, 1844 : Denny and Company, Engineers,
1851
Largely the work of Captain Edward Blackmore, this tells the story of Dumbarton companies William Denny & Brothers (shipbuilders founded in 1844) and Denny & Company (engineers founded in 1851). Denny's can, however, trace its origins back to ships built in Dumbarton by William Denny (born 1779). Denny's also completed work on the Cutty Sark in 1869 after the liquidation of Scott & Linton (the original contractors). The text is illustrated throughout with photographs of the family and other key people in the history of the company, the ships built by the company, their Leven shipyard and the engine works, and of Dumbarton itself. A plan is included of the the shipyard. Details and names of the ships built by the company are included throughout the text. Chapters also highlight the awards scheme for employees, the implementation of workmen's compensation and the building and use of an experimental tank for testing vessels.
