Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is an exciting narrative of the author and his companions' steam-powered yacht voyage across the Atlantic Ocean. In May 1851, the author was invited by Cornelius Vanderbilt to join his entourage on a 4-month tour of Europe and the Mediterranean Sea aboard his new yacht, the North Star. They sailed from New York City with a large party of friends and family in tow and visited major European cities like London, Southampton, Bristol, Clifton, and other famous locations such as Tintern Abbey, Hampton Court, and Windsor Castle. The author captures the excitement and wonder of their arrival via steam-powered yacht at each port-of-call, contrasting it with the awe and respect given to the grandeur of ancient European landmarks. This book is significant for its firsthand account of a unique experience so few had undertaken at that time. Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
