Book Synopsis Warships from the Golden Age of Steam by : David Ross
Download or read book Warships from the Golden Age of Steam written by David Ross and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The great era of the steam warship was from the mid-1860s to the mid-1940s--an 80-year period in which a huge variety of large ships was built, ever-greater in size, fire-power, and technical sophistication. Capital ships were the most expensive and destructive weaponry prior to the atomic bomb, and their development can be traced decade by decade. Arranged in chronological order, Warships from the Golden Age of Steam provides concise coverage of the most famous warships of the period, including HMS Devastation, the first seagoing turreted ship; the Chinese Ting Yuen, sunk at the Battle of Wei-Hai-Wei in 1894; Mikasa and Retvizan, which fought each other at the Battle of the Yellow Sea in 1904; HMS Indomitable, Nassau, and HMS Lion, which all fought at the Battle of Jutland in 1916; HMS Prince of Wales, which took part in the hunt for the Bismarck, and was eventually sunk by Japanese air attack off the coast of Malaya in December 1941; and the Tirpitz, which remained a constant threat to Allied shipping in the North Atlantic until it was sunk by aerial bombers in a Norwegian fjord in late 1944. Filled with colorful artworks, expertly-written background text, and useful specifications of 100 warships, Warships from the Golden Age of Steam is a visually lavish guide to major fighting ships from 1860 to 1945.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The thrilling story of the last, and greatest, generation of steam railway locomotives in regular main line service: a story of invention, skill and passion, Giants of Steam reveals how the true advocates of steam's glory days pushed its design and performance to remarkable limits, taking these powerful and beautifully designed machines to new heights against a backdrop of the political upheavals and military conflicts of the mid twentieth century. Glancey tells the stories of the greatest of the 'steam men', the charismatic engineers who designed these machines and put them to use. Giants of Steam also reveals how steam design has continued to progress against the odds in recent decades, while enthusiasm for the steam locomotive itself is far from burning out.

Book Synopsis Golden Age of Steam by : Christopher Chant
Download or read book Golden Age of Steam written by Christopher Chant and published by . This book was released on 2000-03-01 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The steam-powered train really came of age in the Victorian era of the 19th cent. At this time there was an explosion of technical ideas and this combined with greater national wealth and a rapidly changing social and economic climate to spur a railway boom. Rail lines spread over every part of the world, and there was a rapid development in the speed and capacity of the steam locomotives. Within 75 years the railroad had become the standard means of mass transportation in most parts of the world. The steam locomotive reigned supreme until after WW2 and is still widely employed where there is an abundance of readily available coal, such as the Indian subcontinent, the Far East, and many parts of Africa and Latin America. Beautifully illustrated!
