Book excerpt: Excerpt from America's Merchant Marine: A Presentation of Its History and Development to Date With Chapters on Related Subjects Realizing the deep interest, both national and international, in the American Merchant Marine, we have prepared this volume for distribution to our customers and friends. It is, as will be seen, an original work, and gives a compact history of our merchant marine, with chapters on related subjects. The greatest possible care has been taken to insure the strictest accuracy of this volume. Every statement has been derived from official reports or from other trustworthy sources. As an additional precaution against possible errors, the proof sheets were submitted to a number of leading maritime men who were requested to give them a critical reading. The judgment of some of these authorities may, with propriety, be here quoted. "I have no hesitancy in pronouncing your treatise on this subject as the best and most comprehensive handling of the subject I have yet seen," is an extract from a letter of Captain C. A. McAllister, vice-president of the American Bureau of Shipping and Secretary of the U. S. Shipping Board Navigation Laws Revision Committee. Winthrop L. Marvin, the noted authority on American merchant marine matters, writes: "I have examined the text of 'America's Merchant Marine' which you are publishing, and regard it as an exact, comprehensive and particularly timely work. Its historical review is excellent, and its survey of maritime conditions during and since the great war brings together symmetrically the facts and figures requisite to full present information."

This book was released on 2016-06-27 with total page 764 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report of the Merchant Marine Commission, Vol. 1 of 3: Together With the Testimony Taken at the Hearings A majority of our peoi 1e desire that steps be taken in the interest of American shipping, so that we may once more resume our former position in the ocean carry ing trade. But hitherto the differences of opinion as to the proper method of reach ing this end have been so wide that it has proved impossible to secure the adoption of any particular scheme. Having in view these facts, I recommend that the Con gress direct the Secretary of the Navy, the postmaster-general, and the Secretary of Commerce and Labor, associated with such a representation from the Senate and the House of Representatives as the Congress in its wisdom may designate, to serve as a commission for the purpose of investigating and reporting to the Congress at its next session what legislation is desirable or necessary for the development of the American merchant marine and American commerce, and incidentally of a national ocean mail service of adequate auxiliary naval cruisers and naval reserves. While such a measure is desirable in any event, it is especially desirable at this time, in view of the fact that our present governmental contract for ocean mail with the American line will expire in 1905. Our ocean mail act was passed in 1891. In 1895 our 20-knot trans-atlantic mail line was equal to any foreign line. Since then the Germans have put on 23-knot steam ers, and the British have contracted for 24-knot steamers. Our service should equal the best. I f it does not, the commercial public will abandon it. If we are to stay in the business it ought to be with the full understanding of the advantages to the country on the one hand, and on the other with exact knowledge of the cost and proper methods of carrying it on. Moreover, lines of cargo ships are of even more importance than fast mail lines, save so far as the latter can be depended upon to furnish swift auxiliary cruisers in time of war. The establishment of new lines of cargo ships to South America, to Asia, and elsewhere would be much in the interest of our commercial expansion.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Question of Ships: The Navy and the Merchant Marine It is a curious fact that a great commercial question, vital in its influence upon the well-being of an eminently practical nation, should so often be approached upon the side of sentiment. A bewildering maze of statistics, an array of accommodating figures, and a dexterous spinning of subtle phrases, are made to form the premises, not of an irrefutable conclusion, but of an appeal, which fires the heart, if it do not satisfy the head, of many a patriot. To discuss a question so sober, so melancholy as the restoration of the Merchant Marine, from the standpoint of its poetical merits, is not a priori convincing of its imminent necessity; and, whether an advocate shines in the broad light-beam of free-trade, or is glorious in the panoply of protection, he should forswear heroics and pleas ad hominem, and treat the subject from the grossly material vantage-ground of dollars and cents.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Marine: The Shipping Question in History and Politics Every workman should know his own trade well. Hav ing been for fifty years a student of ships and navigation, I have felt that it was needful to know the causes that have con tributed, first, to the upbuilding, second, to the decline, and third, to the ruin of our shipping interest in the foreign trade. In pursuit of this information time and patience have been well spent, since there was no other way out of darkness into light.
