About The Book
This insightful work, originally published in 1972, examines the impact of technological change in sea transport on trade links, shipping routes, and economic activities. The book starts with a historical perspective, illustrating the vital role of sea transport in the ancient and medieval worlds, and continues to explore the influence of merchant shipping on British economic growth in the nineteenth century.
Couper further delves into modern trends in world ship-owning, ship-building, and ship types, analyzing these against the backdrop of supply and demand. A key focus of the book is the assessment of the role of shipping in relation to developing countries, offering a deep understanding of its global significance.
