Summary "Manual of Ship Subsidies" by Edwin M. Bacon is a historical account written in the early 20th century that explores the development of ship subsidy systems among various maritime nations. The book aims to provide a comprehensive summary of how different countries, from Great Britain to Japan, have implemented financial support mechanisms to enhance their maritime industries, highlighting historical contexts and legal frameworks surrounding these subsidies. The opening of the text introduces the concept of subsidies, which are defined as government grants meant to bolster commercial enterprise, with specific reference to shipping. The author outlines the different forms that ship subsidies can take, such as navigation bounties and postal subsidies, while also indicating the complex nature of these grants across different countries. Bacon emphasizes the historical roots of these systems and their implications on national maritime interests, particularly focusing on the motivations behind varied government interventions in shipping, which aim to enhance domestic commerce and counter foreign competition. The early chapters set the stage for a more detailed exploration, suggesting that the book will delve into the intricacies of subsidy laws and their impact on global maritime practices.
