When did the first steamship cross the Atlantic? Who built it? Where? Several ships have claimed that title, but the true answer lies in Canada where steamboats were plying the rivers and lakes since the 19th century. The Paddle Steamer Royal William, built at the Campbell and Black shipyard in the Port of Quebec, steamed across the Atlantic from Pictou, Nova Scotia, to Portsmouth, England in 1833. That was the first transatlantic crossing under steam. Ships from the US and Holland have challenged her right to the title. This book shows that the PS Royal William's claim is valid.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Eileen Reid Marcil\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1771862297\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781771862295\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Baraka Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 120\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.92lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.90w x 0.40d","brand":"Eileen Reid Marcil","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43978512367871,"sku":"9781771862295","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3e932c16-9353-4bd1-9f92-e2a631cd1560.jpg?v=1683241955","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-ps-royal-william-of-eileen-reid-marcil-9781771862295","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
