CHATTERTON, E. Keble Steamships and Their Story. 1st UK.
Cassell, London, 1910,
CHATTERTON, E. Keble. Steamships and Their Story. London: Cassell and Company, Limited, 1910. First UK Printing. Pp. [i]-xx,[1]-340, colour frontis., + 79 p. of plates. Copiously illustrated. Large 8vo, navy blue cloth with elliptical colour illustration of a four-masted liner to front, elaborate gilt and light blue decoration and borders to front and spine, gilt letteringto front and spine, t.e.g. Serving as a companion volume to his previously -published Sailing Ships and Their Story, this is a lovely volume documenting the rise of the steamship as the ultimate form of both shipping and passenger service, up to the beginning of the construction of the Titanic (which, despite this volume being published about two years prior to the launching - and subsequent wreck - of the Titanic, there are a few mentions of theship's construction throughout). "Around the sailing ship there hovers ete rnally a halo of romance; that is undeniable even by the most modern enthusiast. But, on the other hand, the sailing ship in the whole of her career has not done more for the good of humanity than the steamship within a century or less. [...] [The inquiring mind] has desired to know in plain, non-technical language, how the steamship idea began; how it developed; how its progress was modified, and what were the influences at work that molded its character as we know it to-day. Further, he has felt the desire to show an intelligent interest in her various characteristics and to obtain a fair grasp of the principles whcih underlay the building and working of the steamship. [...] The plan on which I have worked has been to give the historical continuity of the steamship from the most reliable and authoritative material obtainable. [...] At the same time, my object has been not merely to ensure absolute historical accuracy, but to show how in a special manner and peculiar to itself the steamship is every bit as romantic, and equally deserving of our affectionate regard, as her predecessor the sailing ship. [...]After having been brought safe and sound through gales of wind, across man y thousands of miles of ocean, past cruel coast, and through treacherous channels, until at last the fairway and the harbour of safety have been reached, no one who has any heart at all can step ashore without feeling that heis parting from one the noblest and best friends that a man ever had." - f rom the author's preface. Contents: 1. Introduction; 2. The Evolution of Mechanically-Propelled Craft; 3. The Early Passenger Steamships; 4. The Inauguration of the Liner; 5. The Liner in her Transition State; 6. The Coming of the Twin-screw Steamship; 7. The Modern Mammoth Steamship; 8. Smaller Ocean Carriers and Cross-Channel Steamers; 9. Steamships for Special Purposes;10. The Steam Yacht; 11.
