	Seamanship - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Seamanship is the art of operating a ship or boat.
		A fundamental skill of seamanship is being able to manuver a vessel with accuracy and precision, hence a good mariner is a good ship-handler.
		Unlike terrestrial vehicles on the fixed surface of land, a ship is afloat on water that flows and all vessels are still subject to the movement of air.

	SEAMANSHIP - Online Information article about SEAMANSHIP
		Dictionary appeared in 1644, claimed that it was the first treatise on seamanship ever written.
		The old seamanship did not retire before the new without a long resistance.
		The name of " seamanship " still continues to be applied to the art of handling ships under sail, and has never been made the subject of a treatise in so far as it means the management of a steamer.

	Rough Water Seamanship Part I: Boat Handling
		The socially oriented recreational boater is unlikely to ever learn much in the way of seamanship; he owns a boat as an avenue for recreation, something to do with family and friends.
		Seamanship is the ability acquired by a seaman to pilot his vessel skillfully under adverse conditions.
		There are times when the trouble spots cannot be avoided, so that good seamanship calls for making preparations for entering areas of dangerous waters, as well as knowing how to pilot the craft through them.
