Jane's Freight Containers 1975-76

My book collection contains well over a thousand books covering many subjects, often obscure. Perhaps the most niche is this one which is one of Jane's famous large reference volumes. This one is dedicated the logistics which power world trade: shipping containers, ports and operators.

Where would we be without the shipping container, so much of the world's freight is now carried in these things by boat, train and truck. The ships and ports sections are probably the most interesting, though of course much of the information contained in here is a bit out of date.

But the humble shipping container still rules the roost, being transported around the world daily in the thousands. Quite a few end up repurposed for use as storage, or just abandoned to rust away.
