Henry Flagler and Henry Plant are acknowledged as the primary developers of Florida, and although much has been written about their railroad and hotel projects, little has been produced about their maritime accomplishments. Edward A. Mueller uses extensive printed and photographic material to trace the historical and chronological events and activities of these pioneers' successful maritime ventures.

Edward A. Mueller is a professional engineer whose specialty has been the field of transportation. He was Florida's first secretary of transportation and has spent a lifetime researching and writing about steamships and steamboats. A former editor of Steamboat Bill, he has written a number of books, mostly recently Queen of Sea Routes: The Merchants and Miners Transportation Company, for the Steamship Historical Society of America. Mr. Mueller received the Steamship Historical Society of America's Samuel Ward Stanton Award For Lifetime Achievement for the year 2000.
