Sale of Ex-German Ships; Volume 1 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781175783790)

Sale of Ex-German Ships, Volume 1 presents a detailed account of the United States Congress's proceedings regarding the disposition of ships formerly belonging to Germany after World War I. This historical record from 1920 captures the debates, decisions, and legislative actions undertaken by the House Committee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries.

The volume offers insights into the complex political and economic considerations involved in transferring ownership of these vessels, reflecting post-war efforts to address war reparations and reshape international maritime power. It provides valuable primary source material for researchers and historians interested in maritime law, naval history, and the economic impact of World War I. Readers gain a deeper understanding of the challenges and strategies employed by the U.S. government in managing international assets and fostering its merchant fleet during this transformative period.
