Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This 1874 report from the trustees of the American Seamen's Friend Society scrutinizes the Shipping Act of 1872, a labor law that aimed to eradicate rampant abuses against sailors and bring the maritime industry in line with other businesses. While the law required some adjustment, its main provisions were widely hailed as having professionalized the shipping industry, standardized wages, and established uniform contracts between captains and crews. The report also charts the history of the law's passage, with the author providing important context on the social and economic conditions that made it necessary. Of particular note is the author's attention to nautical history, offering insight into the dismal state of the shipping industry before 1872 and providing a valuable document not just for maritime historians but anyone interested in the evolution of American labor rights.
