How Steam Power Changed Ocean Voyaging (Lecture)
Sunday, April 22nd,
2 PM to 3 pm
Old Grace Church/Massapequa Historical Complex

Picture
The title of our April 22nd presentation will be "How Steam Power Changed Ocean Voyaging." The speaker will be John Lawrence Busch, the author of Steam Coffin: Captain Moses Rogers and the Steamship Savannah Break the Barrier. His book is a detailed account of the first steam-powered transatlantic crossing. Mr. Busch has uncovered and used extensive sources from the United States and Northern Europe to explain both the intricacies of steam-powered sailing and the attitudes of those who either opposed or favored this revolutionary mode of travel. He will speak at Old Grace Church beginning at 2 PM and will have copies of his book for sale.
