Description:Excerpt from Ancient and Modern Ships, Vol. 2: The Era of Steam, Iron SteelThe production of the first volume of this handbook was rendered difficult by the scantiness of trustworthy records. A similar remark applies to the first chapter of the present volume, which deals with the history of the earliest days of steam navigation. On the other hand, in writing the remainder of the book, the difficulty has rather been to select from the superabundance of available material. Limits of space have rendered it necessary to reject a great deal, and that which has been selected is only what appeared to be essential for the purpose of putting before the reader a history, in outline, of the development of modern ships.This volume is, in the main, devoted to mercantile ships. The man-oi-war, considered as a fighting machine, has not been touched; in fact war vessels have only been alluded to when the introduction of peculiarities in their construction seriously in uenced the development of shipbuilding. The evolution of the war ship as a fighting machine, from the time of the introduction of steam down to the present day, affords abundant material for a separate work.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
