Annapolis 1993, Naval Institute, First US edition , hard bound in dust jacket, FINE/FINE CONDITION, 10 x 12, 190 pages, prof. illus with 250 illus & drgs. ....................................................................... The advent of steam power was the greatest innovation in maritime transport since the development of the three-masted ship in the Middle Ages, but it took nearly a century to become established, and the story of its development in Europe, the Far East and in America is the subject of this volume.There were good reasons, technical and economic, why the process was so lengthy and why sail remained a viable option in so many trades throughout the century. As a mode of propulsion, the paddle wheel had many drawbacks and was only ever of limited use; even with the perfection of the screw propeller in the 1840s, progress was restrained by the uneconomic nature of early machinery, and it was not until efficient compound engines became widely available in the 1870s that the steamship finally flourished..................................................................... Much of this volume represents original research and considerable re-interpretation. Some subjects, such as the sail-assisted steamed have barely been addressed before, and so it represents a genuine step forward for our understanding of the development of the ship in this period.This volume includes: Steam before the Screw Early Steamships in Eastern Waters Steam Navigation and the United States The Screw Propeller and Merchant Shipping 1840-1865 Triple Expansion and the First Shipping Revolution 1865-1905, The Industrial Background to the Development of the Steamship The Ship Propeller Company and the Promotion of Screw Propulsion 1836-1852 Sail-Assist and the Steamship Alfred Holt and the Compound Engine Marine Engineering Development in the Nineteenth Century
