The movement of large numbers of new cars by water actually began on the Great Lakes in the early 20th century, long before this type of cargo was of much importance on the high seas. For nearly 50 years, the movement of new cars over the lakes provided a service that was economical, efficient and resulted in vessel design and innovations that formed a basis for the modern automobile carriers now arriving from Japan and Europe." ; 4to 11" - 13" tall; 67 pages .
