""The Screw Fleet of the Navy"" is a historical book written by Edward Pellew Halsted, first published in 1850. The book provides a detailed account of the development of steam-powered naval vessels in the mid-19th century. It discusses the challenges faced by the British Navy in transitioning from sail to steam power, and the various experiments and innovations that were undertaken to make this transition successful. The book covers the period from the early 1800s, when steam-powered vessels were first introduced, to the mid-19th century, when steam power became the dominant form of propulsion for naval vessels. It includes descriptions of the different types of steam engines used by the Navy, as well as the various types of screw propellers that were developed. In addition to technical details, the book also provides insights into the social and political context of the time, including the role of steam power in the British Empire's global expansion, and the impact of technological change on naval strategy and tactics. Overall, ""The Screw Fleet of the Navy"" is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of naval technology and the development of steam power in the 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
