Illustrations (some with color). Cover worn. Lettering worn. Boards and hinges weak. Some page edges chipped. Fragile. The majority of the full page drawings of American Steam Vessels were exhibited at the World's Columbian Exhibition in Chicago, 1893, and their delineator, Samuel War Stanton was awarded a medal and diploma. The diploma reads: "A very finely executed and interesting collection of drawings which show with great skill and cleverness various types of war ships, mercantile ocean steamers, lake and river steamers and yachts. They are of general interest and show artistic merit and historical technical value." Samuel was an artist and mural painter who specialized in the rendering of steamships. In 1895 his works were published in American Steam Vessels and he had received awards for his endeavours previous to this. He was known as the foremost authority in the country on the history of steam shipping. At the time of his death, he was preparing a history of American steamboats which, even in its unfinished condition, is the most comprehensive in existence. He had published articles in Master, Mate and Pilot, the last one being called Steamboating in New York Waters in 1831. In early 1912 sketches he produced were destined, when completed, to decorate the interior of the new Hudson River steamboat Knickerbocker which was being built for the Day Line. These sketches, including a series of scenes of the Alhambra, Granada, were lost when the Titanic sank. He boarded the Titanic at Cherbourg. The purpose of the author in compiling this volume was to bring together in compact form, for the first time, current illustrations and descriptions of all of the various types of American steam vessels from the beginning of their successful construction up to the present day. It should be borne in mind that the steam vessels of the United States vary greatly in appearance and construction, according to locality. Thus, the steamships of the coast, the steamboats on the rivers emptying into the oceans, the steamers of the Great Lakes, ad the steamboats of our Western Rivers, are all distinctive and different. It has been the aim of the author to use, wherever possible, the most famous and historical of American steamers, as illustrative of the various types in all parts of the country. The pictures of the numerous early time steamers that appear in the following pages have all be secured and have been drawn from reliable sources--from early prints, lithographs, drawings, an paintings, mostly in the possession of private parties or steamboat companies--and those f later days from photographs, plans, sketches, etc. Of the early steamers that of the Clermont has been drawn from the accepted illustration of this boat, similar to the drawing which is credited to Robert Fulton. All available descriptions of here were careful consulted, and the illustration given to the author was first drawn to a scale from the known dimensions of the boat. The Paragon is taken from one of Mr. Fulton's drawings, and the Hope, 1811, form a wood cut of the period. Much of the data given with each vessel the author obtained from Custom-house records, Steamboat Inspector's reports, newspapers and other documents, and the facts and figures given are believed to be absolutely correct in each case.
