| Zusammenfassung: | "'Steam Titan' tells the story of a transatlantic fight born of and powered by steam, a fight to wrest control of the globe's most lucrative trade route. It's the story of two men: Samuel Cunard and Edward Knight Collins, and two nations: Great Britain and the United States. Wielding the tools of technology, finance, and politics--and at the same time coping with the inevitable, sometimes crushing, perils of the sea--these opposing forces fought to capture control of a commercial lifeline that spanned the North Atlantic. Tracing the paths of ships, goods, people, information and money, historian William M. Fowler Jr. brings to life the spectacle of this generation-long struggle for supremacy, during which New York rose to take her place among the greatest ports and cities of the world, and recounts the tale of competition that was the opening act in the drama of economic globalization that is still unfolding today."--Jacket |

It's the story of two men: Samuel Cunard and Edward Knight Collins, and two nations: Great Britain and the United States. Wielding the tools of technology, finance, and politics--and at the same time coping with the inevitable, sometimes crushing, perils of the sea--these opposing forces fought to capture control of a commercial lifeline that spanned the North Atlantic. Tracing the paths of ships, goods, people, information and money, historian William M. Fowler Jr. brings to life the spectacle of this generation-long struggle for supremacy, during which New York rose to take her place among the greatest ports and cities of the world, and recounts the tale of competition that was the opening act in the drama of economic globalization that is still unfolding today."--Jacket Collins Line Firma (DE-588)1150885475 gnd rswk-swf Cunard Line (DE-588)6120155-8 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte 1840-1860 gnd rswk-swf Schnelldampfer (DE-588)4128939-0 gnd rswk-swf Dampfschifffahrt (DE-588)4131569-8 gnd rswk-swf Handelsschifffahrt (DE-588)4132506-0 gnd rswk-swf Atlantischer Ozean Nord (DE-588)4111442-5 gnd rswk-swf Collins Line Cunard Steamship Company, ltd Collins, Edward Knight / 1802-1878 Cunard, Samuel / Sir / 1787-1865 Merchant marine / North Atlantic Ocean / Biography Steamboat lines / North Atlantic Ocean / History / 19th century Shipping / North Atlantic Ocean / History / 19th century Steamboats / North Atlantic Ocean / History / 19th century United States / Commerce / 19th century Great Britain / Commerce / 19th century BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Historical BUSINESS & ECONOMICS / Industries / Transportation HISTORY / Modern / 19th Century Steamboats / North Atlantic Ocean / History Ocean liners / North Atlantic Ocean / History Commerce Merchant marine Shipping Steamboat lines Steamboats Great Britain North Atlantic Ocean United States 1800-1899 Biographies Biography History Atlantischer Ozean Nord (DE-588)4111442-5 g Cunard Line (DE-588)6120155-8 b Collins Line Firma (DE-588)1150885475 b Schnelldampfer (DE-588)4128939-0 s Handelsschifffahrt (DE-588)4132506-0 s Dampfschifffahrt (DE-588)4131569-8 s Geschichte 1840-1860 z DE-604 Erscheint auch als Online-Ausgabe, EPUB 978-1-62040-909-1 Digitalisierung Deutsches Museum application/pdf http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&local_base=BVB01&doc_number=030075822&sequence=000001&line_number=0001&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA Inhaltsverzeichnis |
