Publisher's Note
A foremost authority has written the first comprehensive reference of 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. 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.

Industry Reviews
In the wake of his 1990 history of US merchant shipping in the 20th century, Pedraja presents a reference with over 500 entries describing people, business and labor groups, engineering and technological developments, government agencies, laws, terms, issues, events, and notable ships. References are provided for each entry. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
