Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a monumental work by Thomas Main on 150 years of the history of marine engineering. It follows the progress of marine steam engineering from the early era of James Watt through the early 20th century. During this period, steam-powered ships revolutionized world trade and navies, enabling new speeds and carrying capacities not previously possible. Main traces the evolution of marine engineering through its many stages, from the first steamship to the massive, coal-fired ocean liners that ruled the seas until the dawn of the oil-fired ship. Rich in detail and with a wealth of carefully selected illustrations, this book is a valuable resource for maritime enthusiasts seeking a detailed history of marine engineering's evolution across the 18th, 19th, and early 20th centuries. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
