The Old Merchant Marine A CHRONICLE OF AMERICAN SHIPS AND SAILORS
"The Old Merchant Marine," by Ralph D. Paine, is a fascinating and in-depth look at the crucial role that American merchant ships and seafarers played in establishing the country's early economic development and global trade. Paine's rigorous research and colorful storytelling transport readers back to a time when merchant ships were the lifeblood of commerce, connecting faraway nations and helping the United States rise as a maritime power. Paine introduces readers to the daring sailors, heroic commanders, and resilient ships who navigated perilous waters and conquered great hurdles via entertaining storytelling and historical accounts. He examines the advancement of maritime technology, the construction of trade routes, and the competitive forces that propelled American merchant shipping to prominence. Paine also looks at how political events, conflicts, and shifting economic landscapes affect the merchant marine business. Paine's love of maritime history shines through as he weaves a compelling tapestry of stories that highlight the courage, determination, and adventurous spirit of those who sailed under the American flag.
Roads of Adventure
Ralph Delahaye Paine (1871-1925) owed part of his swashbuckling success as a writer to connections forged at Yale's secret society Skull and Bones and to an early friendship with the publisher William Randolph Hearst, for whom he covered the Spanish American War as well as the Boxer Rebellion in China. His philosophy in this and his other books was, "If we wish to scale Mont Blanc, or visit a thieves kitchen in the East End, or go down in a diving dress or up in a balloon, we must be about it while we are still young...Youth is the time to go flashing from one end of the world to the other both in mind and body; to try the manners of different nations; to hear the chimes at midnight."
