"The Abandoned Ocean" offers an in-depth appraisal of United States
maritime policy from the establishment of a merchant marine
immediately after the Revolutionary War through radical industry
transformations of the late twentieth century. In this sweeping
analysis of federal policies that promote, regulate, protect, and
subsidize American shipping in coastal and foreign trade, Andrew
Gibson and Arthur Donovan also examine the closely related fortunes
of the shipbuilding industry and the intertwined activities of the
merchant and military navies. The authors consider why, since the
middle of the nineteenth century, United States maritime policy has
been so strikingly unsuccessful in achieving its stated goal of
promoting a commercially viable merchant marine engaged in foreign
trade.
