Sailing on Friday recounts the growth and decline of what twice
became the world's most powerful maritime flect. This is a tale of
operatic dimension, peopled with patriots, politicians, industrial
geniuses, fearless seamen, and gallant swashbucklers. It includes
accounts of little-noted innovations that had long-lasting effects,
daring ocean rescues, sea battles, and financial gambles that won
or lost millions. Growing stress among diverse forces of
mer-chants, shipowners, seafarers, and federal agencies brings this
exciting story to an appalling climax.
