family--can hold Mace back from becoming the greatest racer of all

David Macaulay, co-creator of the international bestseller The Way
Things Work, brings his signature curiosity and detailing to the
story of the steamship in this meticulously researched and
stunningly illustrated book. Prior to the 1800s, ships crossing the
Atlantic Ocean relied on the wind in their sails to make their
journeys. But invention of steam power ushered in a new era of
transportation that would change ocean travel forever: the
steamship. Award-winning author-illustrator David Macaulay guides
readers through the fascinating history that culminated in the
building of the most advanced--and last--of these steamships: the
SS United States. This book artfully explores the design and
construction of the ship and the life of its designer and engineer,
William Francis Gibbs. Framed around the author's own experience
steaming across the Atlantic on the very same SS United States,
Crossing on Time is a tour de force of the art of explanation and a
touching and surprising childhood story. A 2020 NCTE Orbis Pictus
