Book excerpt: Excerpt from Steamships and Their Story The exceptionally kind reception on the part of both Press and public which greeted the appearance of my history of the sailing ship last year, and the numerous expressions of appreciation that have reached me from so many parts of the world, have encouraged me to attempt in a similar manner to set out the story of the steamship from the earliest times to the present day. I am by no means unaware that between the sailing ship and the steamship there is a wide difference, as well in character as in their respective development. But that is no reason for supposing that the steamship is less interesting in her history or less deserving of admiration in her final presentation. Around the sailing ship there hovers eternally a halo of romance; that is undeniable even by the most modem enthusiast. But, on the other hand, the sailing ship in the whole of her career has not done more for the good of humanity than the steamship within a century or less. It requires but a moment of thought to realise the truth of this statement; and for that reason alone, the history of the steamship makes its appeal not to a special class of reader, but to all who interest themselves in progress, in the development of their own country and empire, in the welfare of the world generally, and the evolution from stagnation to beneficial activity and prosperity. There are but few civilised people nowadays who have not been brought into contact with the steamship in one way or another.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of American Steam Navigation After passing through many years with wooden-hull vessels, whose form, either for ocean or river service, could not be excelled by any nation of shipbuilders, we came in about 1870 to the period of a radical change from wooden to iron hulls - not but that many iron-hull vessels had been built in the United States prior to this date - but a more general adoption of iron for the purpose, and the substitution of the screw propeller for the side wheel, with the adoption of the compound engine for the simple engine in screw vessels. About fifteen years ago steel hulls and triple-expansion engines were introduced. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Old Times on the Upper Mississippi written by George Byron Merrick and published by . This book was released on 2016-06-27 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old Times on the Upper Mississippi: The Recollections of a Steamboat Pilot From 1854 to 1863 To most men of our day, the life of those who manned the steamers of that once mighty fleet is legendary, almost mythical. Its story is unwritten. To the few participants who yet remain, it is but a memory. The boats themselves have disappeared, leaving no token. The masters and the mates, the pilots and the clerks, the engineers and the men of humbler station have likewise gone. Of the thousands who contributed to give life and direction to the vessels themselves, a meager score of short biographies is all that history vouchsafes. The aim of the present volume is to tell something of these men, and of the boats that they made sentient by their knowledge and power; to relate something of the incidents of river life as seen by a boy during eight years of residence by the riverside, or in active service on the river itself. While it may not literally be claimed, All of which I saw, it is with satisfaction, not unmixed with pride, that the writer can truthfully assert, A part of which I was.
