This archival document, dating back to 1870, offers a meticulously detailed account of the American response to the decline of its maritime industry during the Civil War.

This book presents the collected testimony of ship-owners, ship-builders, insurance agents, and government officials, providing invaluable insights into the complex economic and political landscape of the time.
