The Screw Propeller: And Other Competing Instruments for Marine Propulsion (Classic Reprint) - Hardcover
Synopsis
This book is an in-depth examination of marine propellers, tracing the development of screw propellers that eventually became the primary means of ship propulsion. The author provides an overview of other methods of propulsion such as paddles and jets, and he contextualizes his discussion of propellers within the broader history of marine engineering. Ultimately, he argues that the development of the screw propeller was a major turning point in maritime travel, and he provides extensive technical detail about how they work as well as their evolution over time.
