"Naval architects: Unseen heroes shaping the maritime world since the dawn of seafaring. From the young James Watt's steam-powered playthings to the ironclads of 1873, their innovations have propelled us forward. Recipients of Coronation Honours, like Stanislas Charles Henri Dupuy de Lome, have graced history's pages. John Scott Russell, a Scottish engineer, gave us the 'wave of translation,' revolutionizing ship design. Sir William Petty, an English physician, penned 'The Natural and Political Observations upon the Bills of Mortality,' inspiring naval architects to consider the human element in their creations. Their visionary work continues to shape the future of naval engineering."
