Marmaduke Stalkartt
Marmaduke Stalkartt (1750 – 24 September 1805) was an English naval architect.
Life[edit]
Marmaduke Stalkartt was the fourth child of Hugh Stalkartt. After presumably serving an apprenticeship at Deptford Dockyard, he was sent to India in 1796 to establish shipyards to build men-of-war in teak.
Stalkartt's Naval architecture (1781) was divided into seven books: 'Of Whole-Moulding'; 'Of the Yacht'; 'Of the Sloop'; 'Of the Forty-Four-Gun-Ship'; 'Of the Seventy-Four-Gun-Ship'; 'Of the Cutter, and Ending of the Lines'; and 'Of the Frigate'.[1] It was reviewed appreciatively in The Critical Review[2] and The Monthly Review.[3]
