Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from American Marine: The Shipping Question in History and Politics Every workman should know his own trade well. Having been for fifty years a student of ships and navigation, I have felt that it was needful to know the causes that have contributed, first, to the upbuilding, second, to the decline, and third, to the ruin of our shipping interest in the foreign trade. In pursuit of this information time and patience have been well spent, since there was no other way out of darkness into light. The necessity for a work on American Marine has long been felt by its friends. While there have been a few pamphlets and an essay or two published, books of the kind requisite have not been produced. This may have been because shipbuilding, navigation, and foreign trade form so broad a field that few acquire the practical knowledge, or can command the time needful for their composition. Moreover, a writer on the subject of the present work can find so little in libraries, and must look for so many facts outside of books, that his task is one mainly of investigation and original thought. It is only by a rare course of business experience and a fortunate succession of circumstances that the author has found an opportunity to be the first in the field which this volume is an attempt to explore and explain. In early life he was the projector and co-editor of the only magazine in the United States ever devoted to the interests of shipbuilding, engineering, navigation, and commerce, - 1854-58. The insight then enjoyed has ever been remembered. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
