"For those with an interest in maritime law and for the crews of Her Majesty's Canadian ships who will no doubt encounter such foreign-flagged vessels at sea, this book will provide very useful context and background. Recommended." - Starshell, "A flag means many things--honor, power, and sovereign commitment--as Rodney Carlisle points out in this compelling new book. With a wealth of empirical detail covering the growth and decline of American flagged shipping vessels (both military and merchant) Carlisle examines the vast numbers of conflicts that have arisen based on vessel flagging as it has evolved over time. The history of the flagging of the U.S. fleet told here is in some ways the history of the last two centuries, spanning slavery, colonialism, war, and globalization. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in maritime history, the evolution of U.S. influence, or flags of convenience and international law." --ELIZABETH R. DESOMBRE, Camilla Chandler Frost Professor of Environmental Studies, Wellesley College; author of Flagging Standards: Globalization and Environmental, Safety, and Labor Regulations at Sea, This is a very important contribution to the history of global, not just American, shipping. The author is to be congratulated for enlightening the maritime industry globally on this important subject.Work Boat World, A flag means many thingshonor, power, and sovereign commitmentas Rodney Carlisle points out in this compelling new book.

To get into the truth of historical developments in the sphere of merchant shipping is a truly arduous task, and Carlisle has succeeded magnificently--this book is worth reading and keeping for that achievement alone. No better or more complete exposition of 'open registers' exists, and most readers will be surprised at the individuals, politics and motives--not always money--that have given rise to the phenomenon.

WISWALL, professor at the IMO International Maritime Law Institute, Vice-President (Honoris Causa) of the Comit Maritime International, Fellow of the Royal Historical Society, The authors insights are as enlightening as they are frequently distressing for those of us who are fond of preserving and encouraging the development of our national merchant marine and who find the use of flags of convenience to avoid regulations that provide for decent pay, concern for the environment, and even the safety of crew members to be a problematic aspect of contemporary life. This book is clearly aimed at those who care about the well-being of people at sea and who have an interest in the history of American maritime commerce, and that is an audience that is likely to appreciate this book to a great degree.Naval Historical Foundation, "This is just one of many engaging contributions in this ground-breaking, wide-ranging history of the American merchant marine.

The worldwide use, legality and continued acceptance of this practice is examined, as well as measures to offset its ill effects." -- Sea Technology, "Carlisle presents a thought-provoking argument regarding the symbolism and national honor of the American merchant flag in connection to maritime conflicts. The text's most noteworthy contribution to present scholarly literature is its discussion of maritime law and the 'flight' of the flag. Carlisle's book is a comprehensive analysis of the legal basis for today's shipping industry and registry system. His discussion of the reasons and timing for the change in national flags onboard American merchant vessels is undoubtedly useful.

Synopsis
Rough Waters traces the evolution of the role of the U.S. merchant ship flag, and the U.S. merchant fleet itself. Rodney Carlisle looks at conduct and commerce at sea from the earliest days of the country, when battles at sea were fought over honor and the flag, to the current American-owned merchant fleet sailing under flags of convenience via foreign registries. Carlisle examines the world-wide use, legality, and continued acceptance of this practice, as well as measures to off-set its ill effects. Looking at the interwar period of 1919-1939, Carlisle examines how the practice of foreign registry of American-owned vessels began on a large scale, led by Standard Oil with tankers under the flag of the Free City of Danzig and followed by Panama. The work spells out how the United States helped further the practice of registry in Panama and Liberia after World War II. Rough Waters concludes with a look at how the practice of foreign registry shapes present-day commerce and labor relations., Traces the evolution of the role of the US merchant ship flag, and the US merchant fleet itself. Rodney Carlisle looks at conduct and commerce at sea from the earliest days of the country, when battles at sea were fought over honour and the flag, to the current American-owned merchant fleet sailing under flags of convenience via foreign registries.
