The shipping container belongs to an invisible industry. One that feeds us, warms us, and puts clothes on our backs. In fact Nine out of Ten non-bulk items you buy arrive by ship. How ironic then that the more ships have grown in size and consequence, the less space they have taken up in our imaginations.
Through the globalization that it has helped create the modern shipping industry has determined the destinies of entire countries and shaped our individual lives. But who of us knows anything about this essential and insular world of shipping?
This book is made in collaboration with merchant seamen and is a response to this imperceptible activity, and the providence of consumer goods through the largely invisible industry of shipping.
