Hardback. Zustand: Good. The story of the development of the American Merchant Marine remains one of the most glorious chapters in the early history of the United States. Up until the Civil War the American sailing ships carried the Stars and Stripes around the world with honor to the nation and profit to their owners. The war and the concurrent change from sail to steam brought disaster to American shipping. By 1870 there were no American passenger liners on the North Atlantic, a sad blow to national pride. The American Steamship Line, born in 1873 as a necessary response to the failings of the American Merchant Marine during the Civil War, quickly became the only American transatlantic line competing with Europe. Begun in part as an investment by the Pennsylvania Railroad, it operated out of Philadelphia and eventually reinstated America's position as a competitive and prestigious force in transatlantic crossings.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Good. 1st Edition. This book tells the story of the first successful American steamship line after the Civil War to rival the great European transatlantic companies. In the years between the Revolutionary War and the Civil War, American sailing ships carried the Stars and Stripes around the world with honor to the nation and profit to their owners. But the success of Confederate commerce raiders during the Civil War and the concurrent change from sail to steam and wooden hulls to iron brought disaster to many American shipping companies. By 1870 there was not a single American flag passenger line on the North Atlantic. 1873 saw the first attempt at establishing a new American-flag steamship line to carry passengers and cargo across the North Atlantic from Philadelphia to Liverpool: the American Steamship Company, which began with the financial backing of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company and the Philadelphia Quaker community. It would eventually evolve into the great American Line (1883), which succeeded in restoring American prestige on the North Atlantic, and became the founding unit of the International Merchantile Marine, the giant shipping trust of 1902. Focusing on the largely unknown but highly eventful early history of the American Line and the Red Star Line, this book offers insight into both the triumphs and the setbacks of American shipping companies in the last 3 decades of the 19th century. The book jacket has minor wear and tear. The book is internally clean with no markings and/or highlighting. There is some bumping on the book corners. Pp 404 to include the Foreword, Acknowledgments, Notes, Bibliography, and Index.…
