Sobre este item
Camden NJ: International Marine, 2002. 1st. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. Hardcover in a bright dust jacket. 278 pages, b&w illustrations. Navigation at sea was a matter of guesswork until well into the 19th century. Changing that became the obsession of Matthew Fontaine Maury. While others built railroads, Maury mapped highways of wind and current over the seas. Hearn uses Maury's career as a window on America's maritime development in the 19th century, including the clipper-ship era of the 1850s, the rise of steam and steel, and the Civil War. Clean copy.
