		Seppings (1767-1840), naval architect, solved the structural problems of the wooden warship which had impeded its development both in terms of size and of strength and durability.
		"Seppings fully and clearly explained the new system in a paper read before the Royal Society on 10 March 1814 [the present work], and supplied a print of a section indicating the arrangements in detail...By his innovations Seppings rendered ships in every way more seaworthy and better adapted for defence."D.N.B., XVII, pp.

		In short, Seppings proposed that the inherent transverse forces would be counteracted if a hull was braced with diagonal laid riders.
		Seppings later improved this design by fitting diagonal timbers between the gunports and fitting diagonal carlings between beams and laying diagonal deck planking.
		Seppings also introduced a method of stiffening a hull by inserting opposed wedges in the spaces between the floor timbers thereby producing a continuous rigid form.

		The system of diagonal timbering, for which the British navy is indebted to Sir Robert Seppings, one of the surveyors on the establishment, was first commenced in the year 1800, upon the Glenmore 32.
		In 1805 it was further applied, at Chatham, to the Kent 74, to give auxiliary strength to that ship after her return from the Mediterranean.
		Sir Robert's important improvement in giving to line-of-battle ships a circular bow, we have already slightly touched upon his ingenuity has since produced a more surprising, and an equally important, change at the opposite extremity of the ship, a circular instead of a square stern.

	Shipbuilding and the long span roof - excerpt from a paper by RJM SUtherland in the Newcomen Society's Transactions
		Before discussing the second wave of slip roofs (the Royal Engineers and the introduction of iron), the author describes the achievements of Robert Seppings, a pioneer in several areas of technology, including the design of timber roofs such as that at Chatham:
		However, 150 years of successful life, as in the case of the Slip 3 roof at Chatham, is perhaps a more convincing proof of adequacy than today's 'elastic' analyses.
		It is likely that a designer of Seppings' calibre understood this settling down intuitively and was quick to respond to any signs of distress.
