Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Book of Commerce by Sea and Land: Exhibiting Its Connection With Agriculture, the Arts, and Manufactures But to form a more definite conception of the subject, let a person pass through one of the streets in Boston, New York, or Philadelphia, devoted to the retail trade. Enter for instance a single shop, devoted to one class of goods - h'ow great is the variety! If the goods are groceries, there are sugars from Louisiana, and the West Indies, teas from China, figs from Smyrna, oranges and lemons from Portugal, Wines from France, pepper and spices from the islands of the Pacific, and a multitude of other things, some from one hemi sphere, and some from the other; some from climes where the sum mer never ceases to shed its prolific influences, and some from regions of snow and frost, where winter {holds perpetual sway: some. Are sent to us by nations or tribes, who haze carried the arts to the high est pitch' of perfection, while others are supplied by half civilized men, or perhaps by wandering savages.

Download or read book The Organization of Ocean Commerce Classic Reprint written by J. Russell Smith and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-12 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Organization of Ocean Commerce If the world's trade were divided into two classes, on the basis of distance, it would be found that land traffic was pre eminently the Short-distance trade and that the ocean was the route used mainly by the long-distance trade. Owing to the ease of water transportation, men seek out the ocean routes for freight whenever possible, and, as from any sea all seas may be reached, the average length of water routes is several times as great as the land routes. The ocean carrying trade is chiefly international trade, of which it comprises the most important part. The ocean is the great international highway, and, in the sense of owner ship, the only international highway. Many land routes carry commodities that cross international boundaries, but the routes, like all the valuable land in the world, are within the jurisdiction of some particular country, and, further, are the property of particular persons or groups of persons. The ocean is more international because it is the property of all, and open and free to all. No nation claims more than three miles from its coast and beyond that any man from any nation may sail his Ship where he will over the common ocean, which covers three-fourths of the surface of the globe and washes the shores of all important countries. Besides being large and free the ocean furnishes the cheapest of all forms of transportation, and with these advantages it is natural that maritime commerce should be by far the greater element in international exchanges, as well as a very important part of many domestic trades.

Download or read book The Great Trade Routes written by Philip Parker and published by Protico. This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For centuries trade has been vital to the growth and prosperity of societies. The ancient world saw the expansion of Western Asian, Mediterranean and Polynesian civilizations as transport networks for trade were established. These routes were instrumental in founding urban centres and trading ports that became ethnically and culturally diverse hubs of commerce and learning. Later, imperial expansion reached far-flung corners of the world, bringing all manner of goods to a mass populace. The Great Trade Routes examines the principal trade networks throughout history. Encompassing coastal and trans-oceanic maritime trade, inland waterway traffic, and overland trade, it traces the steps of the pioneering explorers and merchants who pushed into remote regions across the globe. Filled with fascinating historical detail, exotic locales, and a wealth of illustrations, this book analyzes the importance of trade to commercial and cultural exchange, focusing on great routes such as the Silk Road, the Grand Trunk, Via Maris, Hanseatic and Mediterranean sea-routes, tea and grain races and passages to the New World. From cargoes of semi-precious stones and metals to textiles, foodstuffs and luxury goods such as furs, silk and spices, this fascinating work examines the routes that were established to transport an astounding variety of lucrative goods, giving an expansive overview from the pre-classical period to the modern post-industrial age.

Book excerpt: “There is nothing more enticing, disenchanting, and enslaving than the life at sea,” wrote Joseph Conrad. And there is certainly nothing more integral to the development of the modern world. In The Sea: A Cultural History, John Mack considers those great expanses that both unite and divide us, and the ways in which human beings interact because of the sea, from navigation to colonization to trade. Much of the world’s population lives on or near the cost, and as Mack explains, in a variety of ways, people actually inhabit the sea. The Sea looks at the characteristics of different seas and oceans and investigates how the sea is conceptualized in various cultures. Mack explores the diversity of maritime technologies, especially the practice of navigation and the creation of a society of the sea, which in many cultures is all-male, often cosmopolitan, and always hierarchical. He describes the cultures and the social and technical practices characteristic of seafarers, as well as their distinctive language and customs. As he shows, the separation of sea and land is evident in the use of different vocabularies on land and on sea for the same things, the change in a mariner’s behavior when on land, and in the liminal status of points uniting the two realms, like beaches and ports. Mack also explains how ships are deployed in symbolic contexts on land in ecclesiastical and public architecture. Yet despite their differences, the two realms are always in dialogue in symbolic and economic terms. Casting a wide net, The Sea uses histories, maritime archaeology, biography, art history, and literature to provide an innovative and experiential account of the waters that define our worldly existence.
