The Outlaw Sea by William Langewiesche
A World of Freedom, Chaos, and Crime
A vivid, reportorial look at the lawless underworld of the modern oceans, showing how global commerce, lax regulation and the anonymity of the sea produce environmental disaster, human exploitation, piracy, illegal salvage and smuggling; through scene-driven reporting from shipbreaking yards, wrecks and unregulated tankers to the mechanics of flags of convenience, insurance and maritime law, the book explains how profit and indifference turn the world’s seas into a vast, often unpoliced frontier with deadly consequences for crews, coastal communities and the marine environment.
