Omschrijving

American Merchant Ships and Sailors is a comprehensive historical account of the American merchant marine industry and the sailors who worked on these ships. Written by Willis J. Abbot, a prominent journalist and author of the early 20th century, this book delves into the development of the American merchant marine from colonial times to the early 1900s, covering topics such as the growth of shipbuilding, the impact of trade policies, and the role of American sailors in various conflicts.Abbot provides detailed descriptions of the different types of American merchant ships, including clipper ships, steamships, and schooners, and the various trade routes they sailed. He also explores the lives of American sailors, from their recruitment and training to their experiences at sea and their interactions with other cultures.Throughout the book, Abbot emphasizes the importance of the American merchant marine to the growth and prosperity of the United States, and highlights the challenges faced by American sailors, including piracy, shipwrecks, and political conflicts. He also examines the impact of technological advancements and changing economic conditions on the industry, and the efforts made by the government to support and regulate the American merchant marine.Overall, American Merchant Ships and Sailors is a fascinating and informative read for anyone interested in the history of the American merchant marine and the men and women who worked on these ships.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
