Description

Ocean's Story; or, Triumphs of Thirty Centuries - Maritime Adventures, Achievements, Explorations, Discoveries and Inventions; and of the Rise and Progress of Ship-Building and Ocean Navigation, from the Ark to the Iron Steamships

Valley Publishing Co., St. Louis and Chicago; A. L. Bancroft & Co., San Francisco; Frank W. Oliver, Davenport, Iowa; H. A. W. Blackburn, Detroit, Mich.; G. L. Benjamin, Fond Du Lac, Wis.; Schuyler Smith & Co., London, Ontario; W. E. Erskine & Co., St. John's, N. B.; Jno. Killam, Sr., Yarmouth, Nova Scotia; M. M. Burnham, Syracuse, N.Y. 1875. THE PURPOSE OF THIS WORKTHE OCEAN IN THE SCRIPTURAL PERIODTHE MARVELS OF THE SEATHE CLASSIC LEGENDSTHE FANTASTIC NOTIONS ENTERTAINED OF THE NORTH AND THE EQUATORTHE GIANT OF THE CANARIESTHE SEA OF SEA-WEEDTHE SPECTRE OF THE CAPETHE GRADUAL SURRENDER OF THE SECRETS OF THE SEAIT BECOMES THE HIGHWAY OF NATIONSITS PRESENT ASPECTITS POETICAL SIGNIFICANCEITS MORAL LESSONS. A history of the ocean from the Flood to the Atlantic Telegraph, with a parallel sketch of ship-building from the Ark to the Iron Clad; a narrative of the rise of commerce, from the days when Solomon's ships traded with Ophir, to the time when the steam whistle is heard on every open sea; a consecutive chronicle of the progress of navigation, from the day[20] when the timid mariner hugged the coast by day and prudently cast anchor by night, to the time when the steamship, apparently endowed with reason, or at least guided by instinct, seems almost to dispense with the aid of man,such a theme seems to offer topics of interest which it would be difficult to find in any other subject. The reader will readily perceive its scope when we have briefly rehearsed what the sea once was to man, and what it now is,the purpose of the work being to narrate how from the one it has become the other. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
