Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a fascinating analysis of the maritime industry in the United States, specifically focusing on the period between 1860 to 1915. The author argues that the country's decline in global trade supremacy was due not to the Civil War, but rather to the shift from wood to iron and steel in shipbuilding and the unwillingness of the U.S. to adapt to these changes. The book delves into the political, economic, and industrial factors that contributed to this decline, highlighting the impact of government policies, international competition, and technological advancements. The author also explores the role of individuals and companies in shaping the industry's trajectory, tracing the rise and fall of prominent shipping lines and the impact of key figures like J.P. Morgan.
