About this book
The book is titled Fulton's Steam Battery, with the subtitle Blockship and Catamaran, and is by Howard Irving Chapelle. One passage says that the discovery in 1960 of some of the plans of this historic ship in the Danish Royal Archives at Copenhagen now makes possible a reasonably accurate reconstruction of the vessel. Another sentence says that, until recently, the only available drawing of the ship has been a patent drawing made for Robert Fulton.
The text names David B. Tyler's Fulton's Steam Frigate as the most complete of the published accounts of the ship. One section says that the double-hull design had worked well in these ferries, and that the design would give protection from shot to the paddle wheel. Another passage says it is highly important that a portion of seamen and marines should be versed in the order and economy of the steam frigate.
