book summary
The terma cargo ship applies generically to a broad and multifarious group of different merchant vessels. It includes break-bulk fry, liquid and refrigerated types, also cargo-passenger liners and heavy lift ships, as well as bulk loaders and initised cargo or container vessels. It remained the era, though by then it was in a state of decline, of tramp, general trader or charter shipping, the practice of collecting cargos wherever they could be found and delivering them to wherever they were destined, anywhere in the world.
