About This Book

The author traces the historical development and varieties of government aid to merchant shipping, describing premiums for ship construction, navigation and trade bounties, postal subsidies, naval subventions, and low-interest loans. It surveys the laws and practices of major maritime nations in turn, outlining how each country has used protection, exclusive navigation rules, flag and crew requirements, and direct or concealed payments to encourage native fleets. The manual compiles statutory provisions, contracts, and documentary sources to summarize contemporary regulations and their practical effects on shipbuilding and maritime commerce. A final chapter synthesizes comparative trends and the balance between public expense and commercial benefit.
