Narrative
A history of Greek-owned shipping: the making of an international tramp fleet, 1830 to the present day was a richly sourced study traces the development of the Greek tramp fleet from the mid-nineteenth century to the present day.
Gelina Harlaftis argues that the success of Greek-owned shipping in recent years has been a result not of a number of entrepreneurs using flags of convenience in the 1940s, but of networks and organisational structures which date back to the nineteenth century.
