The book also covers the social and economic impact of steam-powered ships, including their role in the expansion of trade and the growth of the British Empire. Woodcroft provides detailed accounts of some of the most significant steamship voyages of the time, including the first transatlantic crossing by the SS Great Western in 1838.Overall, ""A Sketch of the Origin and Progress of Steam Navigation from Authentic Documents"" is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of technology, transportation, and the industrial revolution.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
