Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book discusses the history of insurance rates on ships traveling the St. Lawrence River. The author argues that these rates should be lowered because the river is now much safer to navigate than it was in the past. The author provides a detailed history of the improvements that have been made to the river, including the installation of new lighthouses, buoys, and other aids to navigation. The author also discusses the changes that have been made to the insurance industry over the years, and argues that these changes have made it possible to lower insurance rates without increasing the risk to insurance companies. The book concludes by arguing that lowering insurance rates would benefit both shipowners and the Canadian economy as a whole.
