Synopsis

This book is a comprehensive guide to the language of shipping brokers and charterers, providing a collection of terms most commonly in use and of value to those involved in the shipping industry. Composed by the author in 1878 during the golden age of shipping and international trade, the book provides invaluable insight into the historical methods of maritime trade and economics. With words and phrases arranged alphabetically for ease of reference, the text acts as a glossary for technical terms and coded messages, including abbreviations, numeric codes, dates, and cryptic phrases. While language and technology have since evolved, the insights on maritime trade and communication practices in this book are still highly relevant today.
