Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Ocean and Inland Water Transportation The discussion of transportation by water naturally divides itself into two parts, transportation upon the ocean and upon inland waterways. Ocean transportation exceeds the traffic of inland waterways in volume and importance, and, for economic and political reasons, merits more detailed consideration. Accordingly, about four-fifths of this volume is taken up with Book I, devoted to ocean transportation. Inland waterways and their traffic are dealt with in Book II. The volume, as a whole, is a treatise on the economics of transportation by water and is intended to he a complement to the author´s work on "American Railway Transportation," the first edition of which appeared in 1903. The author is under special obligations to his colleague, Dr. J. Russell Smith, of the University of Pennsylvania, whose valuable monograph on "The Organization of Ocean Commerce" and whose unpublished notes have been of assistance in writing several chapters. The author is also indebted to Mr. Frank L. Neall, of the firm of Peter Wright and Sons, Philadelphia, for preparing the tables of port charges and furnishing the freight shipping papers that are reproduced.
