The Story of Our Merchant Marine is a comprehensive historical account of the rise, fall, and resurgence of the American merchant marine industry. Written by Willis J. Abbot, the book covers the period of glory during the 19th century, when American ships dominated the seas and helped build the nation's economy. It also delves into the prolonged period of decadence that followed, as the industry struggled to compete with foreign ships and faced numerous challenges, including the devastating effects of World War I. The book explores the various factors that contributed to the decline of the merchant marine, such as government policies, technological advancements, and changing global trade patterns. It also highlights the efforts made by individuals and organizations to revive the industry, including the establishment of the United States Maritime Commission and the Merchant Marine Act of 1936. Through a detailed analysis of the industry's history, Abbot provides a compelling narrative of the merchant marine's importance to American commerce, national security, and global influence. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of American shipping and the challenges faced by the industry in the modern era.A World War I Look At The History And Activities Of The American Merchant Marine Fleet.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
