About This Book

The work traces the rise and technological development of steam-powered navigation from early experiments to mature ocean and inland services, describing engine improvements, ship design, and operational practices. It surveys transatlantic and international shipping lines, the adoption of steam by naval forces, and effects on trade routes and passenger travel. A substantial portion examines Canadian waterways, the St. Lawrence route, ship canals, and the steam commerce of the Great Lakes and provinces, incorporating practical details, statistics, and illustrative portraits. The narrative blends historical overview, technical explanation, and commercial analysis to show how steam reshaped maritime transport and regional commerce.
