Steamship "martha Washington" (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781023988964)

This volume contains the official record of the United States Senate hearings concerning S. 4445, a bill proposing the transfer of the steamship "Martha Washington" to an Italian corporation. The hearings, held on December 15, 1920, delve into the legal and economic considerations surrounding the ship's transfer and provide for just compensation for its use. This document offers valuable insights into the maritime policies of the United States in the early 20th century and the complexities of international trade and shipping agreements following World War I. It serves as a primary source for researchers interested in maritime law, naval history, and U.S.-Italian relations.
