Description: First, there were the giant pumping engines whose gently rocking beams were a feature of
the nineteenth century landscape. Within a few decades, engines had been developed which were sufficiently
small to fit a modest river launch. By the 1830's ocean-going craft had been built, and the first steamships
crossed the Atlantic. Separate chapters cover each phase of these earlier periods, and the book continues
with the emergence of higher powered engines using steam expansively, to the development of the turbine,
the pinnacle of steam power. The diesel engine is discussed, and the story is told of its growth to become
the dominant form of propulsion in low and medium powered vessels.
The book is well illustrated with material from contemporary sources, and coupled with the
author's 40 years of experience as a marine engineer (and the third generation on both sides
of his family) the reader can gain a vivid and realistic picture of the people involved with
design and operation interwoven with the technical details of the development of the
marine engine.
