So little
changed, so much forgotten! Read the foundational text on electric
personal watercraft, steam- electric boats, submarines, canal
boats, rental fleet operations, charging, motors, storage batteries,
etc. Learn about early French, German and English electrics, and
details of the original
Electric Boat Company’s boats at the World’s Columbian Exposition.
See drawings
of original electric launches, rowboats, catamarans, paddlewheelers,
sub- marines, “dirigible” torpedoes, canal boats, etc. and collectors
can use the text and illustrations to identify earliest motors,
controllers, batteries, accessories and electric boat artifacts.
For boat builders, naval architects, or the research library,
this text details engineering fundamentals, and as a survey of
early electric develop- ment, it fills a gap in history of technology
literature. Until now, only one copy was known at the Library
of Congress.
