New York, the Gulf of Mexico, the Kure yard and the Persian Gulf, 1810 to 1982. Four men learned that the hull is not a vehicle but a balance sheet. Cornelius Vanderbilt bought a boat and discovered that the asset was the route. Henry Kaiser, who had never built a ship, built more of them than anyone alive by treating a vessel as a thing to be assembled rather than constructed. Daniel Ludwig took a signed charter to a bank and borrowed against a customer's credit instead of his own. Aristotle Onassis bought six laid-up freighters in a depression and registered his fleet under other countries' flags. None of them made a ship go faster. Each of them changed what a ship was for. Covers Cornelius Vanderbilt, Henry Kaiser, Daniel Ludwig, Aristotle Onassis, Permanente, and National Bulk Carriers.
