Book excerpt: Excerpt from Restoration of the American Mercantile Marine It is not the purpose of your Committee to deal in statistics which prove what all interested parties must admit, that the American ﬂag is rapidly disappearing from the ocean, and will soon be unknown on the high. Seas, unless our Govern ment rescinds hostile legislation and enacts laws to enable it to compete with our great rival in the carrying trade - Great Britain. We deem it proper, however, to state that the total tonnage of the United States employed in foreign trade fell from tons in 1860 to tons during the year ending June 30, 1880, showing a decrease of nearly 45 per cent. The decadence is more clearly indicated, however, bystatistics showing the movement of tonnage, which prove that the foreign commerce of the country has increased rapidly. The increase in British tonnage, entered since the year 1856, has been tons, while there have been also large gains in the tonnage entries under the ﬂags of Germany, Sweden, Norway, Italy, France, Spain, Austria, Belgium and Russia. This statement, authorized by official statistic proves where our foreign carrying trade has gone. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Selected Articles on the American Merchant Marine Ever since President Wilson's message to Congress of December 7, 1914, asking for legislation for the encouragement of American shipping, a bill has been before Congress, in some form or other, providing for government participation, in some measure, in the ownership and control of an American merchant marine. While no bill has been passed to this date, the debates have been the means of arousing the public to the present condition of American shipping, and of reviving discussion of this subject to a considerable degree. In response to the resulting demand for material on this question, this volume has been compiled for the use of students, debaters and others wishing to make a study of the question. It attempts to set forth the facts in regard to the history of our merchant marine and its present status with regard to the shipping of other nations. The arguments for and against government ownership and control are also presented. In keeping with the general plan of the series, this volume contains affirmative and negative briefs, a selected bibliography, and reprints of much valuable material on the question.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New Merchant Marine In his admirable volume on the Dardanelles campaign, Major-General Sir C. E. Callwell, K. C. B., tells of the many urgent appeals that were made in May and June, 1915, to the War Office in London for reinforcements. In response, the Commander of the Expeditionary Force, Sir Ian Hamilton, was informed that his army was to be "augmented by three complete divisions and by infantry of two more Territorial divisions, all of them coming from the United Kingdom." "They were timed to arrive," says the author, "between the 10th of July and the 10th of August - a striking illustration of the number of days needed to embark and to move a force of all arms, mustering considerably less than 100,000 men, oversea on a fortnight's voyage." When it is realized that the British, with all of their ships and facilities for the movement of troops and supplies at sea, found it necessary to take a full month to transport "considerably less than 100,000 men," together with their equipment, at a time when the German submarine campaign had scarcely begun and England had lost but a small amount of her tonnage, it is not difficult to understand the skepticism with which Germany viewed the ability of the United States, with practically no overseas tonnage available, to transport a sufficient army, food, and munitions to the battlefields of France and Flanders in time to be a serious menace to her military operations and ambitions.

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 aﬂoat, 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.

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.

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.

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.

I am sure that it also heartened all the Allies. The men deserving of the credit for this great success are the workers in the shipyards, and the enthusiastic people back of them. Every newspaper, every magazine, every moving - picture thea 'tre, and the 4-minute men organization, consisting of speakers, were used to impress upon the people the need for the construction of ships with the greatest possible speed.
