Shipping the World

2019 · M · Economics

For thousands of years we have traded by sea. Oceans that were once the great frontier of adventurers, braving unchartered waters to discover new worlds and wonders. In the past few hundred years, explorers have ventured out into the unknown, forging a path to a multibillion dollar industry in the 21st century.
