Excerpt from The Mastery of Water
Long afterwards, other nations profited by experience and entered upon vast undertakings with the same Object. The struggle has been carried on for about years, with many a rebuff but always with final victory. Nor is it in this way alone that water has been made to serve man. Since the time when a floating log first suggested an easy means of locomotion, transport by water has developed until it is as Speedy, as safe, and nearly as comfortable as on land. The oceans have been charted, rivers have been made navigable, and enormous canals have been engraved on the face of the earth. The largest Ships can to-day pass from coast to coast, and Climb hills that a locomotive can surmount only by pursuing a Winding path.
