Thomas Stevenson (1818-1887) was a member of the exceptional dynasty of Scottish engineers. In this 1874 work, Stevenson studies the effects of wind, waves and tides on coastline and man-made structures, and shows how the design of each harbour needs to take a wide range of factors into consideration.
