A foremost authority has written the first comprehensive
reference about the U.S. Merchant Marine and American shipping from
the introduction of steamships to today's diesel
containerships--showing the impact of politics, economics, and
technology on maritime history during the last two centuries. Over
500 entries describe people, private companies, business and labor
groups, engineering and technological developments, government
agencies, terms, key laws, landmark cases, issues, events, and
ships of note. Short lists of references for further reading
accompany these entries. Appendices include a chronology, diagrams
of government organizations, and lists of business and labor groups
by founding dates. An unusually extensive index lends itself to the
varying research interests of students, teachers, and professionals
in maritime and economic history, business-labor-government
relations, and military studies.
