Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers a candid overview of the steamship, outlining its benefits and drawbacks while advocating for a specific propeller model: Ericsson's Propeller. Originally published in 1841, this book is based on thorough scientific and commercial research and analysis by the author, an accomplished marine engineer. The author contends that the Ericsson Propeller outperforms the paddle wheel due to its superior effectiveness, particularly in rough seas, and its economic benefits in terms of fuel consumption. The author also details how Ericsson's Propeller could be applied to various types of ships, including merchant ships, warships, and whaling vessels. This book provides an in-depth examination of the advantages of Ericsson's Propeller and serves as a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history, technology, or efficiency of steamship propulsion.
