The History of North Atlantic steam navigation with some account of early ships and shipowners
Henry Fry's 1896 history of North Atlantic steam navigation, published in New York by Charles Scribner's Sons for shipping men and general readers, tracing early vessels, lines and owners. Halftone plates show named ships in profile at sea — paddle steamers, masted liners, smoking funnels — in coarse grey tone with captions set below, useful as silhouettes, ship portraits and grainy seascape textures.
