Книга на английском языке
Since about 1850, the merchant ship saw more radical change in a hundred years than in the five centuries before.1 The transition from sail to steam and from steam to oil, the replacement of wooden ships by those of iron and steel, the rise of specialised passenger shipping and the growing regulation by government authorities all led to drastic changes in labour conditions, labour relations and composition of crews. Ships became bigger and faster and the ratio of average gross registered tonnage (GRT) per man increased. Seamen, including captains, more and more turned into employees of shipping companies. Captains who owned their own ships became a rarity.
