English to Serbian Social Sciences History history of the nineteenth century

The 22000 steamships of the world in 1882, though probably even more powerful as machines than the locomotives, were not only much less numerous, and visible only to the small minority of humans who went near ports, but in one sense much less typical. For in 1880 they still (but only just) represented less shipping tonnage, even in industrialized Britain, than sailing ships. As for world shipping as a whole, there were in 188o still almost three tones under the power of wind for every ton under steam-power. This was about to change immediately and dramatically, in the 1880s, in favour of steam. Tradition still ruled on the water, and notably, in spite od the change from timber to iron and from sail to steam, in the matter of building, loading and discharging ships.
