Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers a comprehensive overview of the significant developments in naval architecture and marine engineering over the last quarter of the 19th century, during which time the steam-powered, iron-hulled ship became the norm. The author, a prominent naval architect and engineer of the period, traces the technological advancements that revolutionised maritime travel, from the adoption of the compound engine and surface condenser, to the widespread use of steel in shipbuilding, and the introduction of new ship designs such as the cigar ship and the twin ship. Beyond these technical innovations, the book also explores the profound impact of these changes on global trade and communications, facilitating the rapid transport of goods and people worldwide, and enabling nations to project their power across oceans with unprecedented speed and efficiency. The author argues that these innovations were not merely incremental improvements, but transformative developments that laid the foundation for the modern shipping industry as we know it today.
