Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from British Merchant Shipping In January, 1921, it was my privilege to deliver a lecture in the University of Liverpool on the subject of "British Shipping in Relation to British Trade," and shortly afterwards it was suggested that I should expand my paper into a book on British Shipping. This volume is an attempt to carry out the suggestion. My aim in writing it has been to retrace the steps by which we, as a country, have come into the possession of our Mercantile Marine, and to describe the methods that we pursue in our task of maintaining it. I thought at first that the subject of British Shipping was too vast to be dealt with adequately in one volume, for there is enough material in the past history and the present performance of our Merchant Service to fill a shelf. On the other hand, it would be useless to present that busy person, "the general reader," with a whole row of books and expect him to have time to cope with so bulky a work. Some day a complete history of Shipping, with all the details and ramifications of its management, ought to be written, but it will not be a one-volume affair. In the meantime, I have been obliged to condense and omit where I should have preferred to expand. Such literature as exists on the subject of British Shipping is mainly of a highly technical nature - too technical for the comprehension of either the general reader or the young man about to enter a shipping office.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Merchant Navy, Vol. 2 Thoroughly exasperated, the American Government now issued what amounted to an ultimatum. The Germans gave way, and early in May Count Bernstorff presented a Note in which his Government promised that henceforth the campaign would be conducted in accordance with the general principles of international law, and that no vessel would be sunk until some provision had been made for the safety of the passengers and crew. These concessions ushered in a new phase of the con flict. The Imperial Chancellor had yielded to the American demands in the teeth of fierce opposition from the officers of the naval and military commands. The thought of loyally supporting the Government in the attitude it had adopted evidently never entered their minds, as the events recorded in this volume attest; and for the rest of the year they strove, by making progressive encroachments upon the pledges given, to restore the submarine campaign to the position which it had lost. They were tolerably successful for at the end of 1916 merchant vessels were being sunk without warning in the Atlantic and North Sea as well as the Mediterranean: in January 1917 the number of lives lost in British merchant ships was 276, and 245 of these died as a result of the submarine campaign. When, a few weeks later, the German Government declared unrestricted submarine war, it was practically announcing an accomplished fact, but the decision proved the final influence which brought the United States into the war.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Need of the Hour: An American Merchant Marine British dominion, for it was ever the aim of England to keep this valuable business under her direct control; but when we gained our independence, we swept aside all the antiquated navigation laws that had been imposed upon us by England, and the United States started out to build up its own merchant marine. During the first ten years marked progress was made in that direction, and at the dawn of the new century we were carrying 80% of our own products on American bottoms. In the next decade additional progress was made, and by 1810 we were carrying In a very short time thereafter not only practically all our own, but a large portion of the world's commerce was being carried by our ships, and our maritime greatness formed the most Splendid period in our commercial history, for we led the world as a maritime nation and then occupied the position as a carrier that England holds at the present time.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Treatise on the Law of Merchant Shipping Upon the Maritime Law of Great Britain, more than on any other single subject, a writer is obliged, not needlessly as to some it might appear, to multiply references to other systems of maritime law, and to the works of those who have commented upon them. This is due partly to the state in which our law is found, and partly to the purpose which it contemplates in common with other national maritime codes.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tables Shewing the Progress of the Shipping Interest of the British Empire, United States, and France: Compiled From Parliamentary Papers and Other Sources The compiler submits the following tables to the public, in the hope, that they may be useful to merchants, underwriters, and ship-owners; they are the result of having his attention particularly directed to the alleged increasing loss of merchant ships. The investigation was commenced in the session of 1843, by reference to, and comparison of official returns in each year, and results were arrived at, which seemed to throw very considerable doubt upon the correctness of the state ments then so confidently made, as to the increasing annual loss of merchant ships. The proportions of ships built and disposed of, are given in separate columns, and shew the ratio of increase, or decrease in each year, at one View.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Merchant Fleet at War During a war, which was at last to draw into its vortex practically the whole human race - the issue depending, first and foremost, on sea power - there was little time or opportunity or, indeed, inclination on the part of British seamen to keep a record of their varied activities. The very nature of many of the incidents recorded in the following pages precluded the preparation of detailed reports at the time. Nor can we forget that many of the officers and men, to whose resource, courage, and devotion this volume bears testimony, have joined the great silent army of the dead to whose exploits the freedom of conscience of every man and woman in the British Empire, as well as their state of material comfort, bear witness.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Merchant Seaman in War WE are passing through a crisis in the History of our Nation during which every individual is called upon to take some part. On every side there are evidences of devotion to duty, and much that is heroic and splendid is brought into prominence every day. In a conflict of so vast a scale, however, countless acts of gallantry must inevitably pass unrecorded and unknown; and unless I misjudge my fellow-countrymen, I believe their authors would not have it other wise. Yet the part in this war which has been played by the officers and men of the British Mercantile Marine is such that some record is imperative. They have founded a new and a glorious tradition in the teeth of new and undreamed-of peril, and have borne the full brunt of the enemy's illegal submarine warfare. It is not only in their honour that I feel this book should go before the public, but also as a lesson to succeeding generations who will follow their paths in freedom on the seas.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Tonnage and Freeboard of Merchant Ships Whatever truth there may be in the charge of ignorance brought against the shipping community (outside departmental precincts) relating to matters so vitally important to the economic success of a ship as Tonnage and Freeboard, there still remains the same love of information. It is to the suggestion of brother officers seeking light and guidance upon these knotty subjects, that this publication is due, and if within its covers there should be noticed any of those familiar phrases or passages employed in official pamphlets, I can only give my assurance that the material has been obtained through careful study of the Merchant Shipping Act, with its many additions and expansions since its birth in 1854. The purpose is not to introduce any novel exposition of the Tonnage and Freeboard Rules, but merely to render them in as simple and condensed a form as is consistent with clearness.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Navy and the War Bruins have made good their escape in the very teeth of vastly superior British squadrons. Against all this we have next to nothing to set except the smart little action in the Heligoland Bight, which was forthwith heralded as a glorious victory. Of course we have captured many helpless German merchantmen, and seized some undefended or weakly defended German colonies, but there is nothing very glorious about that. Altogether, it is a sorry tale of inaction, disappointment, and frequent reverse.' To all these crabbed and cross-grained critics I would reply, 0 yo of little faith, how little you know of the things which belong to your peace! You betray an equal ignorance of naval history and of the nature of naval warfare. Do you think that a fleet, however powerful and confident, can engage the enemy if he will not give it the opportunity? Do you think that any nation can ever go to war without suffering occa sioual disappointments and partial reverses Do you not know that in the Great Revolutionary War, which began in 1793, it was more than a year before the first fleet action was fought by Lord Howe on the glorious first of June 1794 Do you forget that throughout that war, both before Trafalgar and after, British merchant-vessels were captured by the French in hundreds every year, scores of them being snapped up even in the Channel day by day, to the very end of the war? Do you not know that the Seven Years' War, the most successful that England ever fought, began with the loss of Minorca and the trial and death of Byng?
