Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book, originally published in 19th century Scotland, delves into the maritime industry's evolution and argues that the United States must repeal their antiquated Navigation Laws, which restrict the purchase of foreign ships, to remain competitive in the modern global economy. The author provides an in-depth historical and comparative analysis of the shipbuilding industries in the United States and Britain, highlighting how Britain's embrace of ironclad ships and free trade policies led to their dominance in shipbuilding. The author also discusses the economic advantages of using iron and composite materials in shipbuilding, as well as the importance of skilled labor and access to affordable raw materials. Through compelling statistics and case studies, the book makes a persuasive case for the urgent need for the United States to adapt to the changing landscape of the maritime industry and embrace free trade principles to maintain its economic strength and global competitiveness. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
