Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Men of the Merchant Service: Being the Polity of the Mercantile Marine for 'Longshore Readers Care has been taken to avoid, as far as possible, all technical treatment of the subject. I have not assumed the possession of too much nautical knowledge on the part of my prospective readers; not nearly as much, for instance, as would be permissible in a work of fiction. Having before me, too, the h0pe that sons as well as parents will be able to read and enjoy, as well as thoroughly grasp the meaning of this book, I have aimed at making it entertaining, giving a plentiful supply of anecdotes as well to illustrate as to lighten what might easily become rather stodgy. Finally, I feel constrained to add that, even if my friends are wrong, and there are works with which they.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life on the Ocean: Being Sketches of Personal Experience in the United States Naval Service, the American and British Merchant Marine, and the Whaling Service But sitting at home, by the fireside, among his friends, there is nothing to remind him of his past life the incitement is wanting - the yarn can't be spun. Not being able, in any other way, to gratify the wishes of certain of my young friends, I have endeavored here to jot down such reminiscences as will not, it is trusted, prove entirely uninteresting. To give a sailor's impressions of a sailor's life, nothing extenuating, nor aught setting down in malice, has been the aim. Neither exaggerating its hardships - they do not need it - nor highly coloring its delights, whatever those may be, the very plainest truth has been thought sufficient for the purpose in view.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Old Merchant Marine: A Chronicle of American Ships and Sailors A vessel was a community venture, and the custom still survives in the ancient ports of the Maine coast where the shapely wooden schooners are fashioned. The blacksmith, the rigger, the calker, took their pay in shares. They became part owners, as did likewise the merchant who supplied stores and material; and when the ship was a oat, the master, the mates, and even the seamen, were allowed cargo space for commodities which they might buy and sell to their own ad vantage. Thus early they learned to trade as shrewdly as they navigated, and every voyage directly concerned a whole neighborhood.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of Our Merchant Marine: Its Period of Glory, Its Prolonged Decadence and Its Vigorous Revival as the Result of the World War But there are triumphs to be won by sea and by land greater than those of war, dangers to be braved, more menacing than the odds of battle. It was a glorious deed to win the battle of Santiago, but Fulton and Ericsson influenced the progress of the world more than all the heroes of history. The daily life of those who go down to the sea in ships is one of constant battle, and the whaler caught in the ice-pack is in more direful case than the blockaded cruiser; while the captain of the ocean liner, guiding through a dense fog his colossal craft freighted with two thousand human lives, has on his mind a weightier load of responsibility than the admiral of the fleet.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Need of the Hour: An American Merchant Marine British dominion, for it was ever the aim of England to keep this valuable business under her direct control; but when we gained our independence, we swept aside all the antiquated navigation laws that had been imposed upon us by England, and the United States started out to build up its own merchant marine. During the first ten years marked progress was made in that direction, and at the dawn of the new century we were carrying 80% of our own products on American bottoms. In the next decade additional progress was made, and by 1810 we were carrying In a very short time thereafter not only practically all our own, but a large portion of the world's commerce was being carried by our ships, and our maritime greatness formed the most Splendid period in our commercial history, for we led the world as a maritime nation and then occupied the position as a carrier that England holds at the present time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Merchant Seaman in War WE are passing through a crisis in the History of our Nation during which every individual is called upon to take some part. On every side there are evidences of devotion to duty, and much that is heroic and splendid is brought into prominence every day. In a conflict of so vast a scale, however, countless acts of gallantry must inevitably pass unrecorded and unknown; and unless I misjudge my fellow-countrymen, I believe their authors would not have it other wise. Yet the part in this war which has been played by the officers and men of the British Mercantile Marine is such that some record is imperative. They have founded a new and a glorious tradition in the teeth of new and undreamed-of peril, and have borne the full brunt of the enemy's illegal submarine warfare. It is not only in their honour that I feel this book should go before the public, but also as a lesson to succeeding generations who will follow their paths in freedom on the seas.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Oh, Susanna: A Romance of the Old American Merchant Marine It is just a page torn from a ship's log book, very creased and yellow.
