This is the first comprehensive study of an industry that helped to create the global economy. Managing tramp ships was a high-risk potentially high-reward business. Using original documents, this book transports readers into the turbulent world of those who operated the precursors of today's bulk carriers.

This volume explores how firms operating in industries as diverse as film making, shipping, engineering, mining, and advertising have collaborated to develop innovative services, technologies and products to reach new markets.
