Summary |
This booklet is an attempt to re-create an impression of the marine insurance and shipping scene in a single year-1867. This was the time when clipper ships reached their greatest glory of beauty and speed, when engineering improvements were about to make steamships an economical proposition, when international trade was growing by leaps and bounds, and when underwriters could and did make fortunes for themselves and their companies. |
