Shipping has been a leading sector in European economic growth for centuries. Yet, it rarely features in business or economic history. This history of shipping in Greece, which centers on the Vagliano brothers and Aristotle Onassis, redresses this by making this invisible global business visible.

This study provides the most comprehensive history of the development of modern Greek shipping ever published, from the mid-nineteenth century to the present day. It is richly illustrated with numerous maps, photographs and extensive tables.
