Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Steamboat Days' offers a detailed and nostalgic exploration of the era when steam power transformed the landscape of American travel and commerce. Focusing on the nineteenth-century heyday of waterborne transport, the work provides a comprehensive history of the majestic vessels that navigat…ed the nation's great rivers and coastal routes. From the early experiments of Robert Fulton to the grand era of the Mississippi side-wheelers and the Long Island Sound liners, the book captures the technological evolution and the social grandeur of the period.Through meticulous research, authors Fred Erving Dayton and John Wolcott Adams document the development of various shipping lines, the engineering feats behind ship construction, and the vibrant life aboard these 'floating palaces.' The narrative covers the strategic importance of steamboats in the growth of American cities, the rivalries between competing companies, and the eventual transition toward the railway age. Rich with historical detail, 'Steamboat Days' serves as an essential chronicle of maritime heritage, celebrating the romanticism and industrial ingenuity that defined a pivotal chapter in the American experience.
