4.0 out of 5 stars
GOOD BASIC OVERVIEW OF DESIGNS,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Complete Encyclopedia of Steamships: Merchant Steamships 1798-2006 (Hardcover)
THIS BOOK OFFERS A GOOD, SIMPLE OVERVIEW OF THE PICTORIAL CATEGORIES OF EARLY AND MODERN STEAMSHIP DESIGNS. THE READER SHOULD NOT CONFUSE THE TITLE WITH STEAMBOATS. THIS BOOK IS FOCUSED MORE ON BRITISH, COMMERCIAL SHIPS AND NOT AMERICAN LINES. SINCE STEAMSHIPS EVOLVED OVER THE YEARS (DUE TO ENGINE AND TURBINE DESIGN IMPROVEMENTS), THE BOOK HELPS READERS SEE THE EVOLUTIONARY CHANGES. THE ONLY NEGATIVE THOUGHT INVOLVES THE USE OF THE TERM "COMPLETE" IN THE TITLE. IT COULD DISAPPOINT READERS EXPECTING TO SEE A MORE DEFINITIVE AND CATEGORICAL LISTING OF VESSELS.
