Abstract: The object of this paper is to endeavour to present something of interest to marine engineers in general: it deals entirely with troubles that have occurred, and which have been investigated and could repeat themselves, although not, it is hoped, on the same vessels! The subject is dealt with in the following categories: Oil Engines; Turbines; Boilers; Shafting and Propellers; Vibration. Investigations of troubles experienced in each category, and wherever possible the recommendations made for their rectification, are described.
