COURSE DESCRIPTION

ECONOMIC HISTORY OF HELLENIC SHIPPING
A. Harlaftis

This course examines the evolution of the Hellenic mercantile marine in the context of the course of international shipping during the 19 th and 20 th centuries. The economic history of Hellenic shipping is not the shipping history of the Hellenic state and the Hellenic fleet, instead it is the shipping history of the Greeks, whose activities surpassed the strict boundaries of the state. The merchant fleet of the Greeks during the 19 th and 20 th centuries was an international fleet carrying goods between third countries under various flags, in addition to the Greek flag.
