Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the evolution of steamboat technology from its early inception to its eventual widespread use. Beginning with a mythologized account of Blasco de Garray's alleged steamboat demonstration in Spain in 1543, the author traces the history of the steamboat through variou…s inventors and their contributions. The author highlights the work of Jonathan Hulls in 1736, who patented a design for a steam-powered vessel but never built one. The book also discusses the experiments of the Marquis de Jouffroy in France, James Rumsey and John Fitch in America, and Patrick Miller, James Taylor, and William Symington in Scotland. The author concludes by examining Robert Fulton's successful steamboat, the Clermont, which sailed up the Hudson River in 1807, marking a turning point in the history of transportation. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
