Decline of American Shipping in Foreign Trade, 1860–1882
In 1860 American tonnage in foreign carrying trade stood at 2,609,001 tons while 1882 shows 1,250,492 tons, despite foreign commerce rising over 100 percent from $762 million to $1.607 billion. The share of trade via American bottoms fell from 67 to 16 percent, with Britain’s tonnage rising toward 7 million. Coasting tonnage barely held, and U.S. freight payments to foreigners exceed $140 million annually, much of it to Britain in reimbursement for prior subsidies. Worldwide subsidies favor several nations, while Britain’s consular system remains costly yet accepted as beneficial.
