*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
From the first sketches of paddle-driven craft to the iron greyhounds of the Atlantic, George Henry Preble maps the long, contested march of steam power at sea. Steam changed the sea forever. This chronological maritime history follows the 1543-1882 maritime era with a patient eye for dates, experiments, patents, trials and hard-won lessons. Preble, a meticulous compiler of naval records, assembles a complete steam navigation history that reads like a nautical invention chronology: who tried what, where it succeeded, and how rival designs shaped the steamboat invention development into dependable ocean travel. For naval history researchers, maritime engineering students, and readers drawn to industrial revolution transport, it is a steamship history reference rich in names, routes and technological turning points. The narrative tracks nineteenth century steamships as they move from coastal curiosities to strategic instruments, revealing the steamship engineering evolution that made speed, range and safety possible. Long before modern naval histories, Preble brought order to scattered reports, making this compilation a standard authority for historians of technology, maritime commerce, and the strategic rise of steam-driven fleets worldwide. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. For the casual armchair voyager it offers an absorbing timeline; for the classic-library builder it stands as a foundational record of modern seafaring, and a clear window into the ambitions and anxieties that powered the age of steam.
