| 520 | # | # | |a The history of shipping in America from 1600 to 2000, as traditionally recounted,is based primarily on the fortunes of the American merchant marine. The Way of the Ship is different. While it elucidates the significant impact of the merchant marine, this book views American maritime commerce from a global perspective and incorporates the crucial contributions of shipping on coastal and inland waters. |
| 520 | # | # | |a The Way of the Ship tells the important story of the commercial transport of passengers and goods from port to port in American history and the ways in which it fueled the material and economic expansion of the country. Throughout, it explains the factors that influenced—and continue to influence—the shipping industry, from economics, government policy, and labor to the military and technology. It includes intriguing details about the ships and ports that played pivotal roles and the entrepreneurs who took the helm along the way. |
