Synopsis

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

For the United States one of the most important results of the war is the revival of American shipping. The belief that this revival is but the beginning of a new era is pretty generally expressed by most recent writers on the subject, this opinion being largely based on the enormous expansion of our shipbuilding industry. At no time has there been so much inquiry concerning the two closely related topics of shipping and shipbuilding, and it is the purpose of this list to indicate the material in the Library of Congress on these subjects. The list is divided into two parts along the lines indicated above, Shipping and Shipbuilding. Under the former heading are included references on the history of shipping, on American shipping in general, and the operations of the United States Shipping Board. It also includes such closely related incidental subjects as freight rates, dues and port charges, bills of lading, insurance, marine sanitation, cargoes, and accounting. Under the heading Shipbuilding are embraced the history and general subject, and references on special kinds of ships wooden, concrete, iron and steel, and unsinkable ships (submarines are omitted) and special subjects of general interest, such as standardization, accounting, etc., and finally shipyards and employees and the labor problem. An analytical index at the end affords a key to the minuter phases of the subjects covered by the list. H. H. B. Meyer Chief Bihliographei Appleton p. C.
