The First Atlantic Liner : Brunel's Great Western steamship "The Great Western is the least known of Isambard Kingdom Brunel's three ships, being overshadowed by the later careers of the Great Britain and the Great Eastern. However, the Great Western was the first great success, confounding the critics in becoming the fastest ship to steam continuously across the Atlantic, and began the era of luxury transatlantic liners. It was a bold venture by Brunel and his colleagues, who were testing the limits of known technology. This book examines the businessmen, the shipbuilding committee and Brunel and looks at life on board for the crew and the passengers using diaries from the United States and England. The ship's first voyage made headline news in New York and London and involved a race with the small steamship Sirius. The Great Western's maiden voyage was a triumph, and this wooden paddle steamer became the wonder of her age. She linked antebellum New York with the London of Charles Dickens and the youthful Queen Victoria. The ship continued to carry the rich and the famous across the Atlantic for eighteen years."--Provided by the publisher. 2017. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 629.123GREAT WESTERN
The biographical memoirs of Captain William Edmeades, 1766-1852, the honorable East India Company / [edited by Michael Baker and Patricia Baker]. Captain William Edmeades wrote his biographical memoir at the age of 70, having retired from the Honourable East India Company at the age of 40. Edmeades had gone to sea aged fourteen in 1780 as midshipman on the ship Hillsborough, and had risen through the ranks to captain, retiring in 1806. His memoirs describe his life at sea, his career and voyages, during a time when Britain was almost coninuously at war. He saw action at the taking of the Cape of Good Hope in 1806, leading a brigade of company officers and sailors. After his company service he settled at Nurstead Court, Kent, purchased by his father in 1767, and undertook various tasks such as remodeling the house as a fine Regency villa and improving the local church. The memoirs are supplemented by letters written by his brother, at sea at the same time as William. The editors of this text have added footnotes, a summary of Edmeades' voyages, and an index. 2003. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 92EDMEADES
