—————————
Historian and author John Laurence Busch will attempt to
re-calibrate your mind before showing why the proposition of making
the first crossing of the Atlantic Ocean
on a "steamship" was met with a mixture of skepticism and fear.
The
Savannah
is more than a “steamship.”
She is the first example of globalized high technology in
history.
Praise for STEAM
COFFIN:
“Busch’s
supremely readable account…represents the creation of a long-needed
missing piece of maritime history...It may properly be termed a
page-turner, and is strongly recommended.”
