“Today
containers are everywhere – piled high on enormous containerships,
stacked in endless rows in sprawling container ports, hauled across the
country on mile-long trains, and towed along interstate highways as
truck-trailers. These boxes have revolutionized freight transportation
worldwide and created a new kind of global economy. Bur who first
developed this innovation and where was it first used? Brian Cudahy, a
masterful ship historian, answers these questions in this engaging and
carefully researched book… A great subject and a great read. Box
Boats describes one of the transforming industrial revolutions of
our age.”
