Crossing on time : steam engines, fast ships, and a journey to the New World / David Macaulay.
Prior to the 1800s, ships crossing the Atlantic Ocean relied on the wind in their sails to make their journeys. By the end of that century, gradual improvements to the steam engine led to steamships, a faster and more reliable mode of transportation that would change ocean travel forever: the steamship. David Macaulay, co-creator of the international bestseller The Way Things Work, brings his signature curiosity and detailing to the story of the steamship in this meticulously researched and stunningly illustrated book.
