Avtorica se v članku ukvarja z ameriškimi potniškimi in migracijskimi zakoni iz let 1893, 1903 in 1907, katerih namen je bil upravljanje priseljevanja v ZDA. Prizadevanja za omejevanje priseljevanja ...predstavlja na podlagi kriterijev o koristnosti oziroma potencialni nevarnosti priseljencev. Pokaže, da podatki, navedeni na seznamih ladijskih potnikov, niso bili vedno verodostojni, želja tako izseljencev kot ladijskih družb po vstopu v ZDA je bila namreč močnejša od strahu pred zavrnitvijo.
This work addresses the question of dominance over steamship traffic in the Croatian Littoral region and the Velebit Channel. The main research to-pics are the Senj-based Croatian Steamship Company ...and the Rijeka-based steamship company Ungaro-croata, whose representatives were wealthy Croatian merchants and landowners from the Croatian Littoral, Senj, and Lika. Following the appearance of the rival Senj-based steamship company in 1903, numerous accusations, bribes, and other unprofessional or underhanded me-ans of communication were used by members of both companies. A number of these people were also members of the editorial boards of the most important papers in Gospić (Hrvat) and Rijeka (Novi list), which served as vehicles for public criticism of the business activities of steamship companies, but also brought into question the national character of the activities of the companies themselves and the political views of certain shareholders. On the one hand, members of the Croatian Party of Right who were also shareholders of the Croatian Steamship Company in Senj tried to use various forms of public statements to discredit the activities of the Rijeka-based steamship company Ungaro-croata, accusing its leaders, who were allegedly assisted by Hungarian capital and subventions, of helping the activities of Frano Supilo, chief editor of the Rijeka newspaper Novi list. Even though the editorial board of Novi list was initially journalistically neutral after the Senj-based steamship company was founded, this paper soon began publishing many accusations and criticisms of the activities of Senj-based shippers and politicians. It’s an indisputable fact that the Croatian Steamship Company was incapable of seriously threatening the business activities of a powerful steamship company like Ungaro-croata. Polemics between these political party members continued after the signing of the Rijeka Resolution in late 1905, but they no longer involved the steamship companies. This last Senj-based steamship company came to an inglorious end after the end of World War I, when its business was completely taken over by a new Sušak-based company.
Parobrodarsko društvo „Napried“ osnovano je 1894. u Dubrovniku. Osnovni zadatak bio mu je poslovanje s teretnim parobrodima duge plovidbe. Za svojega postojanja od 1894. do 1918. godine, Društvo je ...poslovalo s ukupno deset parobroda duge plovidbe. U prvih šest godina postojanja Društva, karatisti su uspjeli kupiti pet parobroda, i to redom: „Napried“, „Galeb“, „Beatrice“, „Prazattus“, „Predsjednik Becher“, od kojih su parobrodi „Beatrice“ i „Prazattus“, nabavljeni kao rabljeni parobrodi, dok su ostali parobrodi bili novoizgrađeni. Svi brodovi su bili izgrađeni u engleskim brodogradilištima koja su u to
vrijeme imala primat u svjetskoj brodograđevnoj industriji. Društvo je poslove za svoje parobrode najčešće nalazilo na poznatim trgovačkim pravcima unutar Sredozemnog mora, uglavnom prevozeći različite vrste roba između luka na istočnim i zapadnim
obalama Sredozemlja. Tek nešto kasnije pomorski pravci preko Atlantika bivaju sve češći pa su se tako i parobrodi ovog društva često mogli naći u lukama na atlantskim obalama američkog kontinenta. Kvalitetna gradnja engleskih brodogradilišta, duga pomorska tradicija i iskustvo dubrovačkih kapetana, te opredjeljenje Dubrovčana za ulaganje kapitala u trgovačke parobrode, bile su osnovne vodilje većine poduzetnih ljudi dubrovačkog kraja. Udruženi
oko svojih, ponekad i vrlo malih, suvlasničkih udjela u parobrodima, Dubrovčani nastavljaju razvijati tradiciju poslovanja u brodarstvu, napuštajući stoljećima dugu povijest navigacije na jedra, i okreću se novim tehnologijama, vjerujući da će ulozima u nove parobrode ostvariti bolju budućnost za sebe i svoje familije.
Smith And Scott examine the cultural and religious contexts that shaped the Cunard Company's commitment to safety and reliability rather than to speed, luxury, or technological display. It shows how ...a particular form of evangelical Christianity helped define the business and technological culture of the small group of Glasgow shipowners and engineers who created Samuel Cunard's British & North American Royal Mail Steam Packet Company in 1840.

William D. Wray presents an in-depth analysis of the origins and institutional growth prior to World War I of Mitsubishi, today Japan's largest industrial group, and the Nippon Yusen Kaisha (NYK), ...now the world's leading shipping enterprise. The study, however, is much more than a history of two companies. It provides extensive analysis od decision-making in the Meiji government, the finances of the Imperial House, trading strategies, international commercial diplomacy, and the shipping industry's response to war.
This chapter examines a substantial number of British shipping conferences in the nineteenth century in order to determine their ability to regulate competition across the shipping trade. It ...identifies and analyses the common features of shipping conferences; the presence of conferences outside of Britain - particularly in China; the early shipping conferences, including the Glasgow-Liverpool conference; and the evidence of large-spread conferences across the United Kingdom. It discovers that coastal shipping was as involved in shipping conferences as the rest of the shipping industry, and that collaboration between firms existed even within the heightened competitive atmosphere.
