Paper is limited to rolling of actual ships, and considers practical questions of transverse stability; initial metacentric height is proposed as criterion for judging both rolling and stability; examples for open shelterdeck coaster and raised quarterdeck coaster; eight causes of inaccuracies of methods for calculating stability curves.
