Riveting Stories Of Our Last Frontier And The Acts Of God And Man Upon Iteven If We Live Within Sight Of The Sea, It Is Easy To Forget That Our World Is An Ocean World. The Open Oceanthat Vast Expanse Of International Watersbegins Just A Few Miles Out And Spreads Across Threefourths Of The Globe. It Is A Place Of Storms And Danger, Both Natural And Manmade. And At A Time When Every Last Patch Of Land Is Claimed By One Government Or Another, It Is A Place That Remains Radically Free.With Typically Understated Lyricism, William Langewiesche Explores This Ocean World And The Enterpriseslicit And Illicitthat Flourish In The Privacy Afforded By Its Horizons. Fortythree Thousand Gargantuan Ships Ply The Open Ocean, Carrying Nearly All The Raw Materials And Products On Which Our Lives Are Built. Many Are Owned Or Managed By Oneship Companies So Ghostly That They Exist Only On Paper. They Are The Embodiment Of Modern Global Capital And The Most Independent Objects On Earthmany Of Them Without Allegiances Of Any Kind, Changing Identity And Nationality At Will. Here Is Free Enterprise At Its Freest, Opportunity Taken To Extremes. But Its Efficiencies Are Accompanied By Global Problemsshipwrecks And Pollution, The Hard Lives And Deaths Of The Crews, And The Growth Of Two Perfectly Adapted Pathogens: A Modern And Sophisticated Strain Of Piracy And Its Close Cousin, The Maritime Form Of The New Stateless Terrorism.This Is The Outlaw Seaperennially Defiant And Untamablethat Langewiesche Brings Startlingly Into View. The Ocean Is Our World, He Reminds Us, And It Is Wild.
