Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from America´s Merchant Marine: A Presentation of Its History and Development to Date With Chapters on Related Subjects Realizing the deep interest, both national and international, in the American Merchant Marine, we have prepared this volume for distribution to our customers and friends. It is, as will be seen, an original work, and gives a compact history of our merchant marine, with chapters on related subjects. The greatest possible care has been taken to insure the strictest accuracy of this volume. Every statement has been derived from official reports or from other trustworthy sources. As an additional precaution against possible errors, the proof sheets were submitted to a number of leading maritime men who were requested to give them a critical reading. The judgment of some of these authorities may, with propriety, be here quoted. "I have no hesitancy in pronouncing your treatise on this subject as the best and most comprehensive handling of the subject I have yet seen," is an extract from a letter of Captain C. A. McAllister, vice-president of the American Bureau of Shipping and Secretary of the U. S. Shipping Board Navigation Laws Revision Committee. Winthrop L. Marvin, the noted authority on American merchant marine matters, writes: "I have examined the text of ´America´s Merchant Marine´ which you are publishing, and regard it as an exact, comprehensive and particularly timely work. Its historical review is excellent, and its survey of maritime conditions during and since the great war brings together symmetrically the facts and figures requisite to full present information."
