The Official Workaround

Since Angus Ferguson’s physical booklets are often sold out at nautical bookstores (e.g., Brown, Son & Ferguson Ltd., or Glasgow Nautical Press), many students look for the PDF out of desperation. However, legitimate digital access is growing. Check the publisher’s website or platforms like Nautical Institute or Seachest for official e-book licenses.

Step 4: Supplement, Don't Substitute

A common failure mode is relying only on Ferguson. If an examiner asks "Why is the metacentric height (GM) affected by free surface?" and you only answer the Ferguson bullet point ("Reduces GM"), you may fail because you didn't explain the physics of shifting liquids. Use a textbook for the theory and Ferguson for the procedure.
