It is filled with powerful and evocative images of ships such as the Mayflower, Savannah, Flying Cloud, Alabama, SeaLand McLean, and Exxon Valdez; ports, including Boston, New Orleans, Philadelphia, New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Salem, Buffalo, and Seattle; and people such as Joseph Peabody, Robert Fulton, Mark Twain, Donald McKay, Cornelius Vanderbilt, J. P. Morgan, and Malcom McLean.The Way of the Ship offers a global perspective and considers both oceanic shipping and domestic shipping along Americas coasts and inland waterways, with explanations of the forces that influenced the way of the ship.
