Description

About The Book: This book, an English and Hindoostanee naval dictionary, addresses the lack of resources for officers communicating with native seamen aboard ships. The author, during a voyage between England and India, compiles technical terms and sea phrases by translating English naval works and consulting experts. The primary reference is Moore's "The Midshipman’s Vocabulary." The dictionary includes corrupted words used by Lascars, differentiating English and Portuguese origins. Pronunciation variations are noted, emphasizing practical understanding. Some terms from Gilchrist’s British Indian Monitor are incorporated. Despite pronunciation differences among native guides, the author provides a comprehensive guide for officers dealing with diverse Lascar crews in various Indian ports.
