Sobre este artículo
New York, NY: Institute of Social Economics, ca. 1891. 15 x 23 cm. Bates, who was United States Commissioner of Navigation, makes the case for a strong merchant marine, with good, well-built American ships. The ocean ship is the arm of empire, an object of life and beauty. Nations that take and keep the sea develop military, as well as civil, prowess. Author gets quite emotional about ""what a selfish, short-sighted, disparaging ridiculous suggestion.. To quit building ships ourselves, and buy from Great Britain!"" Paper booklet, cover spine partly torn, edge frayed, cover soiled, hole punched through corner of booklet, poor. . Catalogs: Nautical/History.
