About this book

Sail's Last Century: The Merchant Sailing Ship, 1830-1930 (Conway's History of the Ship) by Gardiner, Robert. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780785814160.

A period that is commonly presented as a long, drawn out battle between sail and steam, this volume - the sixth in an ambitious series - sets out to prove that this was not the case and that shipowners, far from seeing the two types as irreconcilable rivals, invested in one or the other according to the usual commercial evaluation of potential risks and rewards.
