Sinossi
Excerpt from Steam Navigation, Its Rise and Progress: With Authentic Tables of the Extent of the Steam Marine of All Parts of the Globe, Contrasted With the Steam Power of the British Empire; Imperfections of the Present System of Steam Navigation, and Symington's Inventions
Awarding, at page 70, the merit of the first Steam Engine erected in England, to the Marquess of Worcester. My authority for this novel statement will be found at page 325 of the Travels of Cosmo the Third, in Great Britain, in the reign of Charles the Second, in 1669, not 1653, as stated. Though I have been puzzled what other machine to understand by it, the description is not sufficiently clear to my mind, to leave no doubt of its being the steam engine. The paddle-wheel here described may be considered an improve ment upon the common wheel for Sea Navigation, yet I certainly give the preference, for such purpose, to Smith's Screw Propeller.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book provides an in-depth examination of the history of steam navigation through the lens of a key inventionâ"the injection condenserâ"and its inventor, William Symington. The author explores the challenges of steam navigation, including the rapid destruction of boilers and incrustation, and demonstrates how Symington's invention solved these problems by preventing mineral buildup in boilers. The book traces the development of steam navigation from its early beginnings to the present day, shedding light on the motivations and struggles of inventors like Watt and Symington. The author argues that Symington's invention was a pivotal moment in the history of steam navigation, allowing for longer and more efficient voyages by preventing incrustation and boiler damage. The book highlights the significance of Symington's insights, which revolutionized steam navigation and paved the way for the widespread adoption of steam-powered vessels.
