About This Book

This volume surveys the development and regulation of merchant shipping from historical Navigation Acts through nineteenth-century commercial change, assessing the causes and consequences of tariff and legal reforms. It traces the rise of American maritime power and port growth, analyzes national laws governing masters, seamen, and pilots, and compares foreign practices in seafarer education and welfare using consular reports and Board of Trade inquiries. It also condenses parliamentary debates on navigation legislation and evaluates institutional responses to shipping hazards, shipping companies, and emerging mercantile technologies, aiming to provide documentary evidence and tables for reference.
