ACKNOWLEDGMENTS 



I am particularly indebted to my many friends in the shipping industry for 

 their help in preparing this book and I am only sorry it is not possible to include 

 all the American Flag Lines. My thanks are also due Simmons Boardman & Com- 

 pany, pubhshers of the Marine Engineering and Shipping Review. 



For her work on the manuscript, my sincere appreciation goes to Olive B. 

 Flannery, without whose help the book would never have been written.
