Die Schweiz verfügte zu Beginn des 19. Jahrhunderts weder über einen durchgängig schiffbaren Meerzugang noch über eine Schiffbautradition wie sie die grossen Seefahrtnationen der Frühen Neuzeit kannten. Als das Unternehmen «Escher Wyss & Cie.» in Zürich 1836 - 16 Jahre nach der Einführung der Dampfschifffahrt auf den Schweizer Gewässern - die Produktion von Dampfschiffen aufnahm, konnte weder auf theoretische und praktische Grundlagen noch auf ausgebildete Fachkräfte zurückgegriffen werden. Anhand der frühen Geschichte des Unternehmens sowie drei Personen aus Hans Caspar Eschers Netzwerk wird dargestellt, wie der Technologietransfer Dampfschiff vollzogen wurde und wie der Aufbau des Schiffbaus als eigenständige Abteilung firmenintern sowie die Etablierung einer neuen Branche während der 1860er- und 1850er-Jahre verliefen. [At the beginning of the 19th century, Switzerland had neither continuous navigable access to the sea nor a shipbuilding tradition as known to the great seafaring nations of the early modern era. When the company "Escher Wyss & Cie. in Zurich in 1836 - 16 years after the introduction of steam navigation on Swiss waters - started the production of steamships, neither theoretical and practical foundations nor trained specialists could be relied upon. Using the early history of the company and three people from Hans Caspar Escher's network, the book describes how the technology transfer of steam ships was carried out and how the development of shipbuilding as an independent department within the company and the establishment of a new industry during the 1860s and 1850s proceeded.]
