Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book documents the implementation of steam navigation on the Ganges River in India. Amidst unreliable native boats and excessive travel times, the author sought to improve transportation of goods and passengers. It describes how the author designed and implemented a new system of single-hulled steamers, which were faster, more efficient, and could navigate the river's unique conditions. The book explores the detailed innovations, including the integration of the engine and cargo space, and the use of an internal keelson to strengthen the hull. It also discusses challenges faced, such as river conditions and competition from existing steamer operators. The book's insights shed light on advancements in steam navigation and transportation infrastructure in 19th-century India, making it a valuable resource for those interested in maritime history and technological development.
