THE GOLDEN AGE OF THE ATLANTIC PART 2
“Analyze of the potential loss of the transatlantic
passenger traffic in the period 1914-1960”.
Economic Overview.
In the period of 1900-1960 approximately 22,721,355 immigrants have arrived in the United States of America. Most of them arrived from European counties. At the same time, in the period of 1900-1914 around 21,300,000 passengers were carried between European ports and ports in the USA, in both directions. These numbers immodestly attract our attention.
This research is the Part Nr.2 of my work called “The Golden Age of The Atlantic”, Part 1, Riga, 2008. In the Part 2 I'm trying to show the result of calculations of the potential loss of the passenger flow in the transatlantic traffic because of geopolitical situation in Europe and USA in the period 1914-1960. The geopolitical situation definitively affected at shipping and shipbuilding industry of the Western Europe and USA. As well, it became an attribute of fading of the transatlantic transportation industry.
