Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book documents the tragedy of the Chesapeake and Maryland iceboats, the consequence of a dispute between the iceboats and private tugboat interests in Baltimore harbor during the late 19th century. The author offers insight into the tumultuous relationship between the two factions and the tragic loss of four consecutive iceboats in succession. The text also explores the evolution of maritime law and insurance underwriting practices, focusing on the unique challenges faced by iceboats during this period and their place within the history of American maritime trade. An insightful look at both the history of icebreaking technology and the policies that governed it, this book delves into the human drama and technological challenges of maintaining commerce during Maryland's harsh winters.
