"Parallel with the evolution of the conventional
steamship, however, a number of odd craft were
developed by intelligent and energetic laymen with
a view to improving on the efficiency and the
stability of the professionally designed ships.
Thus some vessels were built by railroad
engineers in the shape of a cigar, others by a
Russian admiral in the shape of a pancake.
Cross-channel vessels were launched with twin
hulls, while another, designed by a steel magnate,
contained a swinging saloon for the comfort of the
passengers. Ships were built with sections joined
together, others floated above the surface on wheels.
More conventional steamers, though still odd, such
as the Americam River boats and the early Monitors
of the American Civil War, are described, together
with the early submarines, and the amazing
Portuguese offshore fishing boats."
