Description:
University of Delaware Press:, 1981. 385 pages, illustrated by the author. "This well-researched work details the development of the American steamship during the years when hulls were built of wood and the largest and fastest examples were driven by paddle wheels. The period covered extends from Robert Fulton's day to the early 1970s when the last wooden-hulled craft sailed from New York for European ports. Information about the designers and builders of the steamships has been assembled here. Appendices to the book summarize ship dimensions and engine sizes and list in chronological order the first eastward Atlantic crossing of all the vessels described in the text. This book fills a void in American maritime history by bridging the gap between engineering and history." FINE HARDCOVER, VERY GOOD- DUST JACKET. Dust jacket protected with a clear plastic acid-free jacket.. Hard Cover. Fine/Very Good-. 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall.

The Big E was largely responsible for turning the tide at Midway; she supported and defended the Marines on Guadalcanal, took part in the first attacks on the dreaded Japanese fortress of Truck, and more. She was officially credited with downing 911 enemy planes, sinking 71 ships and damaging almost 200 others." FINE- HARDCOVER.. Hardcover. Fine-/No Dust Jacket Present.. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
