Synopsis
A detailed history of how the Emergency Fleet Corporation built a wartime merchant fleet and reshaped American shipbuilding.
Drawing on reports, records, and portraits, this historical narrative traces the problems, choices, and achievements that defined the U.S. Shipping Board Emergency Fleet Corporation during World War I. It shows how standardization, logistics, and planning helped turn a wartime program into a lasting influence on American industry and policy. The book blends organizational detail with the human stories behind shipyards, labor, housing, and administration.
Readers gain a clear view of the challenges the nation faced, the decisions that steered production, and the people who steered the shipyards toward success. It offers a grounded look at government and industry working together under pressure, with lessons that extend beyond the war years.
- How standardization changed everything from anchors to lifeboats and lowered costs
- The scale and speed of shipyard expansion and the role of housing and transportation
- How the fleet program managed labor, contracts, and supply chains in a crisis
- Key personnel, organizational shifts, and the lasting impact on American maritime policy
Ideal for readers of maritime history, World War I era infrastructure, and policy-focused histories of American industry.
