Book 1 Covers:

Introduction to Able Seaman and Lifeboatman Certification
Basic Principles of Watchkeeping
Nautical Terms and Ship Construction
Marlinspike Seamanship, Purchases, and Safe Work Practices
Anchoring, Mooring, & Line Handling
Maneuvering and Handling
Fires, Firefighting, & Fire Prevention

Able Seaman Books One and Two include text material, illustrations, essay-type questions and answers, and multiple-choice questions and answers. Most multiple-choice questions are taken directly from the U.S. Coast Guard exam question database. The questions are separated by subject and ranked in ascending order of difficulty within each chapter.

The Coast Guard uses the same "deck" question database to test both Able Seaman and licensed officers. Most chapters in the Able Seaman Course for All License Grades, except Chapters 1 and 12, also appear (with different chapter numbers) in our Limited Master, Mate, & Operator study course for a Coast Guard officer credential endorsement and may be used interchangeably for candidates who, at any time, become qualified and decide to work toward the officer endorsement.

The Able Seaman Course for All License Grades consists of four books:
