Abstract
A weakly nonlinear Hamiltonian model for two-dimensional irrotational waves on water of finite depth is developed. The truncated model is used to study families of periodic travelling waves of permanent form. It is shown that non-symmetric periodic waves exist, which appear via spontaneous symmetry-breaking bifurcations from symmetric waves.
