Note 23 — The Development of the Steamship.
Reading edition
This was the second of the name—a favourite one after the Duke of Wellington's great victory, and gave rise to the following poetic effusion:—
And now amid the reign of peace, Art's guiding stream we ply; That makes our wheels, like whirling reels, O'er yielding water fly. As our heroes drove their foes that strove Against the bonnets blue; On every side the waves divide Before the Waterloo. —Millar's "Clyde from Source to Sea," page 179.
