. Bulletin - United States National Museum. Science. Smiih & DiMuN Shii'Vard, .lv York, About 1831, From a Contemporary Painting. This firm was then a leading builder of packet ships, '.nd later built Rainbow, Sea Jl'ik/i and other famous clipper ships. A treadmill can be seen at the e.xtreme left and a steam bo.x at the e.Ntreine right. (Smilhsoman photo 32^1^-0.) The building of packets centered at New York; out of a total of 185 ocean packets, listed by Albion in Square-riggers on Schedule, 160 were New York built; of 116 ship-rigged coastal packets, 78 were New York built. Only one ocean packet was built at the former center of improved shipbtiilding, Baltimore. New England's contribution was but 24 ocean and 37 coastal packets. It was the fierce cotnpetitioti in packet-ship con- struction among New York builders that had led these shipbuilders to search for scientific information on the design of hulls, and caused them to import English books on the subject and to study and discuss the problem in print. The first American book on naval architecture, published at New York in 1839, was The Practical Shipbuilder by L. M'Kay, older brother of Donald McKay, who was to become prominent at Boston in the 1850's as a builder of clipper ships. Later the Nautical Magazine, published at New York, and the works on naval architecture and shipbuilding of John Willis Griffiths appeared. The mechanics' societies had lectures on the subject at their athenaeums and the title "mechanic" was proudly claimed by master shipwright and carpenter alike. Consequently, in the latter part of the packet- ship period, 1820 to 1850, when the great development of the type took place. New York had become a cen- ter of advanced merchant ship-design, and although Baltimore retained a reputation for turning out swift sailers, at least in small vessels, the palm for "scientific ship-design" rested in New York. Not until the 1850"s did New England bid for supremacy in
