I just finished that book. WOW!!! And I especially say that as a former Class Surveyor. I did get a mention in the foot notes; not by name, however. I was the guy who rafted partially filled ballast tanks and then told the owner that they were going to have to stage all of the tanks for further examination and potential steel replacement. It caused quite the stir at the time. I got quite a few phone calls over it (no email back then).

Very good read and, for the most part, written in a way to be very plainly understood. Jack Devanney is very articulate and makes some very strong points.
