Download or read book The Hatchet of the United States Ship George Washington Classic Reprint written by Edwin Taylor Pollock and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-15 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Hatchet of the United States Ship George Washington A letter from the Captain to the Postmaster at New York stated that he thought that the forces going overseas might also have some of the papers, etc, while on the way, and a request was made for several thousand. The matter was referred to the Postmaster General at Washington, and as a result all transports applying for the papers would receive all they asked for. Moving pictures at sea were out of the question. They could not be held on deck, and if an accident happened, such as a torpedo hitting the ship, when several hundred men were crowded in one compart ment, the results might be very serious. After the ship was in good running order, however, movies were held when the ship was in port, and since the armistice was signed, they have been an almost nightly occurrence.

Download or read book The Canton Trade written by Paul A. Van Dyke and published by Hong Kong University Press. This book was released on 2005-12-01 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study utilizes a wide range of new source materials to reconstruct the day-to-day operations of the port of Canton during the eighteenth and first half of the nineteenth centuries. Using a bottom-up approach, it provides a fresh look at the successes and failures of the trade by focusing on the practices and procedures rather than on the official policies and protocols. The narrative, however, reads like a story as the author unravels the daily lives of all the players from sampan operators, pilots, compradors and linguists, to country traders, supercargoes, Hong merchants and customs officials. New areas to studies of this kind are covered as well, such as Armenians, junk traders and rice traders, all of whom played intricate roles in moving the commerce forward. The Canton Trade shows that contrary to popular belief, the trade was stable, predictable and secure, with many incentives built into the policies to encourage it to grow. The huge expansion of trade was, in fact, one of the factors that contributed to its collapse as the increase in revenues blinded government officials to the long-term deterioration of the lower administrative echelons. In the end, the system was toppled, but that happened mainly because it had already defeated itself. General readers and academicians interested in world and Asian history, trading companies, country trade, Hong merchants, and articles of trade will find much new and relevant information here.
