About this product

Product Information

A refreshing, authoritative look at American maritime history In this engaging account of American maritime and merchant marine history from colonial days to the present, the esteemed authors show that from 1820 on, domestic shipping on America's coasts, rivers, and lakes outweighed shipping overseas, and that shipping drove the American economic engine and helped shape American history. Part of a series sponsored by the American Maritime History Project, Inc., this book is essential reading for American and naval history buffs. The prestigious team of writers/historians includes Alex Roland (Durham, NC), Professor of History at Duke University, Jeffrey W. Bolster (Barrington, NH), Professor of History at the University of New Hampshire, and Alexander Keyssar (Cambridge, MA), Stirling Professor of History and Social Policy at the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University. All have authored acclaimed books.
