Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from History of Propellers and Steam Navigation: With Biographical Sketches of the Early Inventors The object of this History of Propellers and Steam Navigation is two-fold. One is the arrangement and description of many devices which have been invented to propel vessels, in order to prevent many ingenious men from wasting their time, talents, and money, on such projects. The immense amount of time, study, and money, thrown away on such contrivances, is beyond calculation. The author has had opportunities which few possessed, of viewing a vast amount of indifferent re-inventions brought out for this purpose; and it has been a subject of regret to him to know, that this was owing to the want of historical information on such subjects. This work is designed to supply, in a measure, that want. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
