Trade Winds : A History of Norwegian Shipping
-
The authors trace the influence of ships on a people living close to the sea. They describe the changes in cargo and destination, and explain the improvements and developments made to hulls, propulsion, and navigation. They discuss the living conditions of the crew, their terms of service and their pay, and the effects of government policy and economic theory. Structured chronologically, the books starts in the Stone Age and ends on an optimistic note with regard to the future of Norwegian shipping.
