Deep Sea & Foreign Going by Rose George
Inside Shipping, the Invisible Industry That Brings You 90% of Everything
A vivid, investigative account that takes readers aboard the world’s cargo ships to reveal the hidden machinery of global trade, combining reporting on the practicalities of life at sea—long voyages, cramped quarters, sanitation, boredom, danger and piracy—with analysis of the industry’s economics, the politics of flags of convenience, and the often-exploited multinational crews who keep goods moving. Through interviews and onboard observation, the book illuminates how crucial yet overlooked seafarers and shipping practices are to everyday life, while exposing regulatory gaps, environmental impacts, and the human costs behind the containers that arrive at our ports.
