Steam at Sea: Two Centuries of Steam-Powered Ships

By Denis Griffiths

This volume covers the development and decline of the steam engine from the late-18th century to the present day. It is not a history of the steamship, but the story of the machinery which powered those ships. It aims to tell the story of marine engineering development through the steamship and the job it did both in commercial and naval terms.
