Atlantic Kingdom pays tribute to the Americans who challenged
Cunard, the shipping company that held a monopoly on North Atlantic
trade routes in the nineteenth century. In an era when civilisation
first grappled with large-scale technology and creative industries
promised a new standard of living, competition for control over
maritime trade was fierce. Cornelius Vanderbilt and P. T. Barnum
were among those who battled like mythical gods for control of
their domains. These titans of the Atlantic left behind them a
wreckage of human lives, lost ships, and squandered fortunes in
their failed bids for supremacy of the seas. This book is a clear,
succinct, lively, and sure-handed evocation of American maritime
enterprise at its zenith.
