  • Wealthy Business Families in Glasgow and Liverpool, 1870-1930 a DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO
    NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY In Trade: Wealthy Business Families in Glasgow and Liverpool, 1870-1930 A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS for the degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Field of History By Emma Goldsmith EVANSTON, ILLINOIS December 2017 2 Abstract This dissertation provides an account of the richest people in Glasgow and Liverpool at the end of the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth centuries. It focuses on those in shipping, trade, and shipbuilding, who had global interests and amassed large fortunes. It examines the transition away from family business as managers took over, family successions altered, office spaces changed, and new business trips took hold. At the same time, the family itself underwent a shift away from endogamy as young people, particularly women, rebelled against the old way of arranging marriages. This dissertation addresses questions about gentrification, suburbanization, and the decline of civic leadership. It challenges the notion that businessmen aspired to become aristocrats. It follows family businessmen through the First World War, which upset their notions of efficiency, businesslike behaviour, and free trade, to the painful interwar years. This group, once proud leaders of Liverpool and Glasgow, assimilated into the national upper-middle class. This dissertation is rooted in the family papers left behind by these families, and follows their experiences of these turbulent and eventful years. 3 Acknowledgements This work would not have been possible without the advising of Deborah Cohen. Her inexhaustible willingness to comment on my writing and improve my ideas has shaped every part of this dissertation, and I owe her many thanks.

  • Shipping Made in Hamburg
    Shipping made in Hamburg The history of the Hapag-Lloyd AG THE HISTORY OF THE HAPAG-LLOYD AG Historical Context By the middle of the 19th Century the industrial revolution has caused the disap- pearance of many crafts in Europe, fewer and fewer workers are now required. In a first process of globalization transport links are developing at great speed. For the first time, railways are enabling even ordinary citizens to move their place of residen- ce, while the first steamships are being tested in overseas trades. A great wave of emigration to the United States is just starting. “Speak up! Why are you moving away?” asks the poet Ferdinand Freiligrath in the ballad “The emigrants” that became something of a hymn for a German national mo- vement. The answer is simple: Because they can no longer stand life at home. Until 1918, stress and political repression cause millions of Europeans, among them many Germans, especially, to make off for the New World to look for new opportunities, a new life. Germany is splintered into backward princedoms under absolute rule. Mass poverty prevails and the lower orders are emigrating in swarms. That suits the rulers only too well, since a ticket to America produces a solution to all social problems. Any troublemaker can be sent across the big pond. The residents of entire almshouses are collectively despatched on voyage. New York is soon complaining about hordes of German beggars. The dangers of emigration are just as unlimited as the hoped-for opportunities in the USA. Most of the emigrants are literally without any experience, have never left their place of birth, and before the paradise they dream of, comes a hell.

  • A Literature Review, Container Shipping Supply Chain: Planning Problems and Research Opportunities
    logistics Review A Literature Review, Container Shipping Supply Chain: Planning Problems and Research Opportunities Dongping Song School of Management, University of Liverpool, Chatham Street, Liverpool L69 7ZH, UK; [email protected] Abstract: This paper provides an overview of the container shipping supply chain (CSSC) by taking a logistics perspective, covering all major value-adding segments in CSSC including freight logistics, container logistics, vessel logistics, port/terminal logistics, and inland transport logistics. The main planning problems and research opportunities in each logistics segment are reviewed and discussed to promote further research. Moreover, the two most important challenges in CSSC, digitalization and decarbonization, are explained and discussed in detail. We raise awareness of the extreme fragmentation of CSSC that causes inefficient operations. A pathway to digitalize container shipping is proposed that requires the applications of digital technologies in various business processes across five logistics segments, and change in behaviors and relationships of stakeholders in the supply chain. We recognize that shipping decarbonization is likely to take diverse pathways with different fuel/energy systems for ships and ports. This gives rise to more research and application opportunities in the highly uncertain and complex CSSC environment. Citation: Song, D.

    Chapter 2 International Sea-borne Trade 2.1 Outline The international movement of goods through the Suez Canal is dependent upon the general world economy, global trade and competitive pressures from airfreight, overland routes and the Panama Canal. In this chapter the following factors that influence to the sea-borne trade through the Suez Potential are discussed. 1) Containerization 2) Vessel Development 3) Sea-borne Route: Panama Canal route Arctic Ocean route 4) Land Transportation: Pipelines for Crude Oil Land bridges for Containerized Cargo 2-1 2.2 Containerization 2.2.1 Trends in the world There are several general cargo commodities experiencing a continued loss of market share to containers. Break bulk refrigerated commodities are still in decline, despite the overall growth in refrigerated trades. The increased capacity of new containerships for refrigerated containers combined with the increased trade route services of strings of larger containerships has further reduced the future potential growth for refrigerated general cargo moving in conventional refrigerated vessels. General cargo of the roll on-roll off (Ro-Ro) type continues to grow in the domestic or a short-distance trip. But Ro-Ro is not popular in long-haul trip. The Ro-Ro trade is handled by a consolidated group of companies whose vessels carry containers to balance their capacity utilization. Growth in Ro-Ro and also heavy lift cargo will follow closely the industrial growth of the world, with energy industry growth contributing significantly to this growth. Strength of demand for imported higher value goods moving in containers is forecast to continue as recovery from the Asian economic crisis of two years ago proceeds.

Abstract Container shipping plays a key role in international transshipments and is currently the system of choice for most global shippers handling non-bulk commodities. In the competitive maritime industry, steamship companies are looking for ways in which further economies can be achieved. One of the areas examined has been the maritime portion of the trip, wherein ship economies of scale can be obtained through the use of larger vessels. During the 1990s, technical constraints associated with very large or mega-containership designs were overcome, and the operation of such vessels (in the range of 4,500 to 7,000 TEUs) offered the promise of lower container shipment costs over the densest trade routes.

  • 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.
