Excerpt from British Shipping: Its History, Organisation and Importance To write an essay on British Shipping bearing all these points in mind was no easy task to undertake, especially when the length of the book was necessarily limited. But the writing of the book has been a great pleasure for many reasons. One's interests from early boyhood have been connected with the sea and ships, thus the work entailed a review of many past years, and the recollection of many inter esting experiences. Moreover, in making oneself familiar with the latest phases of the industry it has been necessary to visit ships, ports and docks, and to interview, or correspond with, those who are in authority. The kindly courtesy with which ques tions, both oral and written, have been answered, merits more than the mere expression of thanks.
