Between 1815 & the American Civil War, the greatest invention of the Industrial Revolution delivered a sea change in oceanic transportation. Steam travel transformed the Atlantic into a pulsating highway, dominated by ports in Liverpool & New York, as steamships ferried people, supplies, money, & information with astounding speed & regularity. American raw materials flowed eastward, while goods, capital, people, & technology crossed westward. The Anglo-American “partnership” fueled development worldwide; it also gave rise to a particularly intense competition. Steam Titans tells the story of a transatlantic fight to wrest control of the globe`s most lucrative trade route. Two men
- Samuel Cunard & Edward Knight Collins

The world watched carefully to see which would win. Each competitor sent to sea the fastest, biggest, & most elegant ships in the world, hoping to earn the distinction of being known as “the only way to cross.” Historian William M.

This is also the story of the rolling stock, the `train`. The early first-class coaches were based on a stagecoach design, while some second-class coaches had no glass in the windows & passengers wore fine-gauge goggles to avoid getting cinders in their eyes. Third-class coaches were merely open trucks
- after all, why not travel in the open as passengers had done on the outside of a stagecoach?
