Francis������� Metallic Lifeboat Company is a book written by George F. Allen in 1852. The book is a historical account of the founding and operations of the Francis������� Metallic Lifeboat Company, which was established in the mid-19th century. The company was founded by James Francis, a British inventor, who developed a revolutionary lifeboat made of metal instead of the traditional wooden boats. The book provides a detailed description of the design and construction of the metallic lifeboat, as well as its advantages over the wooden boats. The author also provides an account of the challenges faced by the company in marketing the new invention and convincing the public of its safety and reliability. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of maritime safety and the development of lifeboats. It is also an interesting read for those interested in the history of innovation and entrepreneurship in the 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
