Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Steamship Conquest of the World This book is not a history of steam navigation. It has been written rather to show how water transportation has developed: the present position in the eternal struggle between science and disaster: the wonderful and rapid growth of the big, express Liner during the space of one hundred years. I have not confined myself to the steamship itself purely and simply, as the welfare and safety of the ocean-travelling public are affected very materially by several other influences. Although the North Atlantic figures largely in the volume, this is due to the fact that it is the busiest of the seven seas: it is where new developments and revolutionary inventions invariably receive their ocean-going commercial baptism: where luxury and elegance have been carried to a supreme degree: where the ingenuity and skill of the engineer are revealed most strikingly: and finally, because it is the arena in which the struggle for supremacy between the various maritime nations is contested most keenly and enterprisingly. In the preparation of this book I have received the heartiest assistance of various interests, both in connection with the letterpress and the illustrations. In the majority of cases this co-operation is acknowledged in the text and beneath the photographic reproductions. In addition I am indebted to the Hydrographers of the British and United States Admiralty Departments, the editor of the Scientific American, and also the commander of the United States derelict destroyer Seneca.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Titanic was born during the golden age of ocean liners, when gigantic steam-powered ships were the primary mode of intercontinental travel and luxury liners like the Mauretania and the Olympic captured the public's imagination. In this amply illustrated 1912 volume, author Frederick Talbot provides a fascinating look at all aspects of these early twentieth-century technological marvels, from the earliest stages of design and testing to the exquisite interior decorations found on the choicest ships. Talbot also provides great detail on the dangers of these massive ships and begins his chapter on 'The Peril of the Ice' by noting that "the year 1912 will stand as a milestone ... as it witnessed not only the greatest shipwreck on record, but because it drove home to the public more forcefully than ever the serious menace that the iceberg offers to navigation, and the helplessness of man when he is pitted against such a formidable antagonist of the deep."

Book excerpt: Steamship Nationalism is a cultural, social, and political history of the S.S. Imperator, Vaterland, and Bismarck. Transatlantic passenger steamships launched by the Hamburg-Amerikanische Packetfahrt-Aktien-Gesellschaft (HAPAG) between 1912 and 1914, they do not enjoy the international fame of their British counterparts, most notably the Titanic. Yet the Imperator-class liners were the largest, most luxurious passenger vessels built before the First World War. In keeping with the often-overlooked history of its merchant marine as a whole, they reveal much about Imperial Germany in its national and international dimensions. As products of business decisions shaped by global dynamics and the imperatives of international travel, immigration, and trade, HAPAG’s giant liners bear witness to Germany’s involvement in the processes of globalization prior to 1914. Yet this book focuses not on their physical, but on their cultural construction in a variety of contemporaneous media, including the press and advertising, on both sides of the Atlantic. At home, they were presented to the public as symbolic of the nation’s achievements and ambitions in ways that emphasize the complex nature of German national identity at the time. Abroad, they were often construed as floating national monuments and, as such, facilitated important encounters with Germany, both virtual and real, for the populations of Britain and America. Their overseas reception highlights the multi-faceted image of the European superpower that was constructed in the Anglo-American world in these years. More generally, it is a pointed indicator of the complex relationship between Britain, the United States, and Imperial Germany.
