Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. Concerned with the lack of coastal defenses, the US Government convened a board in 1885 to examine and report on the matter. Their alarming findings, presented in this book, exposed the vulnerability of US harbors and coastlines against increasingly powerful and armored vessels. The board's detailed report provides an insightful analysis of the state of coastal defense at the time, highlighting the pressing need for advanced weaponry, modern fortifications, and torpedo boats to protect the nation's critical ports and waterways. The report emphasizes the superiority of steel over cast iron for guns and armor, underscores the importance of domestic production of these materials, and calls for a comprehensive plan to strengthen America's coastal defenses. This book offers invaluable insights into the strategic considerations and technological advancements that shaped the development of coastal fortifications during a pivotal period in US history.
