| 520 | |a Fifty years ago on April 26, 1956, the freighter Ideal X steamed from Berth 26 in Port Newark, New Jersey. Flying the flag of the Pan-Atlantic Steamship Company, she set out for Houston with an unusual cargo: 58 trailer trucks lashed to her top deck. But they weren't trucks: they were steel containers removed from their running gear, waiting to be lifted onto empty truck beds when Ideal X reached Texas. She docked safely, and a revolution was launched; not only in shipping, but in the way the world trades. Brian Cudahy provides a vivid, fast-paced account of the container-ship revolution - from the maiden voyage in 1956 of Ideal X to the entrepreneurial vision and technological breakthroughs that make it possible to ship more goods more cheaply than ever before the 200 million containers shipped every year that are the lifeblood of the new global economy. | ||
