The book discusses the concept of using steam-powered battering rams as a replacement for traditional warships in coastal defenses. Ellet argues that these rams would be more effective in defending harbors and coastlines against enemy attacks. The book provides a detailed analysis of the history of naval warfare and the development of warships, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of using steam-powered rams. Ellet also discusses the potential cost savings associated with using these rams, as they would be cheaper to build and maintain than traditional warships. Coast and Harbor Defenses is a significant historical work that sheds light on the evolution of naval warfare in the mid-19th century. It provides valuable insights into the strategic thinking of military leaders at the time and the technological advancements that were driving change in the field of naval defense.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
