| Publisher Description: Newcastle was one of the most successful coal mining towns in northwestern Washington, due in large part to its proximity to transportation routes. Newcastle's coal fueled the economic growth of Seattle and the region. In 1872, between 75 -100 tons of coal were produced each day in Newcastle. In this book, themes such as the social and economic impact of the industry on Newcastle; developments in the technology of coal transport, loading and shipping; the roles of the public and private sector; and changes in ownership of the loading industry are all touched upon in this engaging history of one of the oldest and most significant economic activities in Australia. |
