Publisher's Comments (cont.)
Although Francaviglia (history, U. of Texas at Arlington) focuses on the vessels and shipping of the Texas coast, he also refers to river-going craft, especially keel boats and steamboats. He describes the history of Texas ports, the everyday aspects of maritime transportation, and the ways in which innovative military technology and reconnaissance led to improvements in merchant shipping. Francaviglia includes numerous b&w photos and reproductions of paintings and line drawings from the times when the vessels sailed. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
