The Sway of the Grand Saloon: A Social History of the North Atlantic

American History. In January 1818, six hardy souls made the first scheduled Atlantic passenger-ship crossing, and a new industry was born. Reckless competition, horrific disasters, and human dramas shaped it. A very nice, clean and unmarked copy. DJ has a very small rip at the top, on the front jacket near the spine, otherwise in good condition.
