DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt 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.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt 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.

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.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt 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.
