About this book

The story of the steam-ship, which covers little more than a hundred years, is told here with a hundred and fifty illustrations. R. A. Fletcher wrote it in 1910 as a companion to E. Keble Chatterton's volume on sailing ships. He sets ship beside railway: the sea is open to all, while a railway needs heavy outlay, and the marine engine changed radically where the locomotive's main features were fixed early. A picture shows the William Fawcett, the first steamer of the P. & O. company, 209 tons, built in 1829.
