This 18th edition of Knight's Modern Seamanship was revised by Capt. John V. Noel Jr., USN (Ret.). It added new sections on ship communications, channel marking, towing and salvage, and the maritime buoyage system, and it includes the full text of the Inland Navigational Rules Act of 1980 in its rules of the road coverage.

Shiphandling chapters cover docking, mooring, anchoring, helicopter operations and ice seamanship. The book also deals with ship structure and stability, propulsion and steering, ground tackle, cargo handling, and knotting and splicing, making it a broad reference for professional mariners and students of seamanship.
