The object of this book, the second of a three-volume history, is
to show how seaborne trade was affected during the war by naval
operations and by conditions having their origin in the naval
situation. It is not concerned with the achievements of the Royal
and Merchant Navies but rather with the result of those
achievements. The early months of the war are covered in this
volume when the German attack on commerce was carried out mainly by
surface cruisers such as Emden, Karlsruhe and others and by armed
merchant vessels such as Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse. The force of
this attack was effectively broken at the Battle of the Falklands
in December 1914, though the last of the original raiders was not
accounted for till April 1915. Appendices provide tables of
shipping losses of combatants and neutrals and statistics of
cargoes and costs, of imports and exports. Part of the British
official history set for World War I.
