Ocean Steamers

This fascinating and superbly researched book takes us through an extraordinary period in history. During the Industrial Revolution, no innovation was to have more effect than the development of steam power at sea, and this book recounts both the technical and social aspects in vivid detail. Describing life on board ship in the 1840s, the development from wooden ships to the Iron Age and finally the great passenger ships of this century, this truly is a most rewarding account of maritime history.
