Praise for STEAM COFFIN:
“Busch’s supremely readable account…represents the creation of a long-needed missing piece of maritime history...It may properly be termed a page-turner, and is strongly recommended.”   
— (mt) Marine Technology Magazine

“A beautifully written and engaging narrative…John Laurence Busch has made a major contribution to American maritime history with this fine book.”
 — Naval War College Review

"You offer what is exceptional in an historical presentation: the reasons 'why' history matters."
— James Mackin, Society for Industrial Archeology

"I believe there were more questions from the audience than I've seen at any meeting in a long time."
