The advent of
steam ~ The merchant steamship before 1900
|
||
 |
|
The introduction of the paddle, then the development of screw propulsion and, finally, the emergence of efficient compound engines led to the flowering steamship in the last quarter of the nineteenth century. These three strands are described in detail, and much new research make this volume a contribution of particular significance. |
