This account of heroic failure has all the ingredients of a great adventure tale. The Atlantic Steam Navigation Company, the Galway Line, had a colorful history as one of the most unfortunate shipping lines ever registered. Launched in 1858, it suffered setbacks and disasters that led to its demise in 1864. The Civil War, competition, and the laying of the first transatlantic cable all contributed to its final failure. ""A thorough and well-informed discussion of the distinctive Irish context -- social, political, and economic -- of this early steamship venture.""--Northern Mariner.
