Slump in American Merchant Marine Halts Shipbuilding

A 1928 report shows no keel laid for an American overseas vessel during a heavy slump. Britain fights to regain sea trade supremacy while the United States holds only two ships under construction versus nations like Britain and Japan with many more. The committee notes U.S. share of international shipping is under 8 percent with 31 percent of exports and 28 percent of passenger traffic, despite policy aims to build a sufficient merchant marine and defense needs. If other nations had cut tonnage as the U.S. did since 1922, idle ships would be fewer today.
