525 pages, illustrations, tables, cloth, ex-library with usual library markings otherwise very good. 1st edition. From the foreword: "An achievement so brilliant as the redevelopment of the American Merchant Marine is at once both comforting to the Nation as a world power and historical. In this volume we have aimed to present an imperishable record of the reappearance of the United States as a shipping nation. It is fitting that The Marine News, in its position as America's greatest marine publication, undertake to weave the fabric recording the ascendancy of America's shipping to heights greater than ever fondly anticipated."
