  • Long Waves on the Seven Seas
    4 Waves on Waves – Long Waves on the Seven Seas Anttiheikki Helenius Abstract Kondratieff waves are an interesting subject of study and describe present global economic developments. The Global Financial Crisis of 2009 and the present economic situation have parallels with the Great Depression of the 1930s. Twice-in-a-century events are occurring again. On the other hand, many important innovations have been introduced during the last decades. These innovations have changed people's lives in a revolution- ary manner and have contributed very positively to the global development. Study of the development of seafaring supports the claim of the existence of Kondratieff waves. Important innovations and milestones of development of seafaring coincided with the upswing phases of these waves. Moods of different eras manifest also in composition of shipping fleets and flotillas. One needs new creative approaches to solve global challenges. The study of long waves allows compelling insights and provides timeless wisdom for the study of economics. Keywords: Kondratieff waves, long waves, global financial crisis, maritime economics, economic forecasting, philosophy of science and economics, Schum- peterian economics, time preference of consumption, Hayekian economics, cruise industry. General Introduction to the Long Waves and to the Subject of This Article For my Doctoral thesis in Economics I studied the theory of Kondratieff waves. I used that theory in the practical context when analyzing the air transportation (Helenius 2003). A special vindication could be established for using a long waves approach for analyzing air transportation. Also I have used the long waves approach in recent conference papers (Idem 2009, 2010).

  • 1840/85 the Mail Service in the North Africa Ports Alexandria, Tunis, Algiers, Bone, Philippeville, Oran, Tanger and Tripoli of Barbery
    1840/85 The mail service in the North Africa ports Alexandria, Tunis, Algiers, Bone, Philippeville, Oran, Tanger and Tripoli of Barbery INTRODUCTION: During the nineteenth century the ship traffic knew an unprecedented intensity, encouraged by the arrival of the steam navigation that was, by then, able to ensure not only more security but even shorter journeys and a more certain length of them. Regarding the Mediterranean sea, a decisive turning points were the choice of Suez, still before the channel opening, as the reference port for East Indies traffics as well as the the raising of the colonial politics with the French occupation of Algerie and the first Italian interest shown towards Tunisie and Libya, together with the strengthening of traffics with the declining Ottoman Empire. The Egypt, particularly, under the guide of the governor Mohamed Ali Pasha to whom the Sublime Porte had recognized the vice roy (Khedivè) title with a large self-government, met a period a great economic rise that supported the settling of a large foreign Community, about 60.000 people, leading some of the most important European countries to open their post offices and establish steam navigation companies. SCOPE: This collection has the objective of offering a view of the mail system, in years 1840/85, in the Egyptian port of Alexandria, according to the following list of steam navigation lines.

  • British India Steam Navigation Company
    British India Steam Navigation Company Operator of passenger and cargo services in Indian waters, the Bay of Bengal, the Gulf and to Japan, Australia and East Africa as well as ‘Home Lines’ from the UK Pre-P&O Years The founder of the British India Steam Navigation Company (BI) was William Mackinnon (b.1823-d.1893) who, in partnership with William Mackenzie (ca.1810-d.1853) operated as a general merchant near Calcutta. In the mid- 1850s Mackinnon, Mackenzie & Company secured the East India Company's mail contract between Calcutta and Rangoon and founded the Calcutta & Burmah Steam Navigation Company Ltd, registered in Glasgow in 1856, with a capital of £35,000. Within five years of its foundation, the company had expanded considerably: from Burma, its ships were serving Penang and Singapore, while dozens of small ports along the Indian coast were being opened up to large-scale traffic by its service between Calcutta and Bombay. A mail contract to cover the whole of this route was being negotiated, and a similar contract up and down the Persian Gulf was being contemplated by the Government. In 1861 Mackinnon raised £400,000 to establish the British India Steam Navigation Company Ltd, and ordered six larger ships. The new company, which absorbed the Calcutta & Burmah Company, was registered in Scotland in 1862. The original Mackinnon, Mackenzie & Company in Calcutta continued to exist and operate as BI’s managing agents, a function which they were to fulfil for nigh on a hundred years. BI secured a network of mail contract services – Bombay/Karachi, Bombay/Gulf, Bombay/Calcutta and Madras/Rangoon – which became the backbone of its operations.

  • Shipping and Commerce Between France and Algeria, 1830-1914
    Marrying the Orient and the Occident: Shipping and Commerce between France and Algeria, 1830-1914 THESIS Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By John Perry Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2011 Master's Examination Committee: Professor Alice Conklin, Advisor Professor Christopher Otter, Advisor Professor David Hoffmann, Advisor Copyright by John Perry 2011 Abstract Steam technology radically transformed world shipping in the nineteenth century. Shipping lines established fast and predictable schedules that linked the far reaches of the world to Europe. These sea routes also went hand-in-hand with European imperial expansion; regular, reliable communications between colony and mother country cemented imperial control. To analyze these links, I explore the establishment and operation of shipping lines between France and its most prized colony, Algeria, between 1830 and 1914. The French state fostered this trade through generous subsidies, eventually declaring a monopoly on Franco-Algerian trade in 1889. Far from being a simple story of the French state playing a large role in the affairs of private enterprise, I examine the tensions between political and economic motives to justify these steamship services. These tensions underlying the justifications of linking France and its empire with French ships reveal that the day-to-day operations of these shipping lines were more complex, and more fraught, than previously imagined. ii Dedication I dedicate this thesis to my family who supported my ambition to go to graduate school. iii Acknowledgments Academic research is a collaborative effort.

  • Shipping Migrants in the Age of Steam: the Rise and Rise of the Messageries Maritimes C
    Case Study #5 September 2018 Shipping Migrants in the Age of Steam: The Rise and rise of the Messageries Maritimes c. 1870-1914 Introduction Around the middle of the nineteenth century the full effects of steam technology were starting to be felt in western industry and transport. The steam engine had been patented by a Scottish engineer named James Watt in 1781 but the first experiments in steam powered trains and ships occurred towards the beginning of the nineteenth century. The Atlantic Ocean became a laboratory for maritime engineers. Its first crossing entirely by steam was achieved in 1838 by the SS Great Western, a wooden-hulled paddle- wheel steamer designed by the celebrated English engineer, Isambard Kingdom Brunel. It wasn’t until the final decades of the nineteenth century, however, that steam engines came to replace sails entirely. The obstacles remained many and the new technology was adopted with some apprehension due to the spectacular explosions, collisions and shipwrecks that littered its early history (the sinking of the SS Titanic in 1912, property of the White Star Line from Liverpool, is the most well known). Nonetheless, its effects rippled across international commerce and global politics. Spearheading the change were mostly European shipping companies that, with the support of their imperial backers, exploited the decline in American shipping and the technological inferiority of Asian competitors, and rushed forwards. One of these companies was the French Messageries Maritimes. In its heyday it was known as France’s postman in the Mediterranean. In 1851 it had been awarded a substantial government subsidy to deliver post and carry government personnel across the Mediterranean, subsequently renewed at regular intervals for almost a century.

    OCTOBER, 2010 VOLUME XXVII, # 9 Friday October 29, 6:00 PM At the Community Church Assembly Room, 40 E. 35th Street, New York, NY: INTRODUCING THE BRAND-NEW QUEEN ELIZABETH THEODORE W. SCULL On 12TH October 2010, following a naming ceremony performed by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, Cunard’s 92,400-ton QUEEN ELIZABETH set out on her maiden voyage from Southampton to Iberia, Madeira and the Canary Islands. Slightly larger in gross tonnage than QUEEN VICTORIA, she qualifies as the second largest Cunarder ever built, the third to carry the name Queen Elizabeth and the third QUEEN in the present fleet. The October program is under the direction of our Program Chairman Theodore W. Scull, who will present a first-hand look at the new ship, drawing on a personal inspection in Southampton and on input by other World Ship Society members based in England who will photograph the ship and her initial October sailings to and from her homeport. Join us as we celebrate Cunard Line’s expanding presence on the high seas and continuing tradition dating back 170 years.

The Association is a recognised public interest institution with locations in commercial ports that have marked the companies' history such as Le Havre, Marseille, Dunkirk, Bordeaux and Paris. In Le Havre, we have an area spanning almost 2,500 m dedicated to the historical preservation of the Compagnie Générale Maritime heritage, successor of the Compagnie Générale Transatlantique and the Messageries Maritimes, as well as the Société Nationale Corse Méditerranée. Over the years, our work has been acknowledged by members of the Merchant Navy. Some have become partners of French Lines, such as Louis-Dreyfus, Marseille Fret, STIM d'Orbigny, La Méridionale de Navigation, la Compagnie Nationale de Navigation and Armateurs de France. French Lines also house a number of archives including archives for companies such as Delmas, Chargeurs Réunis and Le Borgne. Our objective is to raise awareness of the Merchant Navy's vital role in politics, technology, economics and society throughout history, as well as its inuence on the evolution of taste and art.
