By Samuel Plimsoll

Book Overview

Cattle Ships is a book written by Samuel Plimsoll, which is the fifth chapter of his Second Appeal for Our Seamen. The book focuses on the transportation of cattle by sea and the dangers associated with this practice. Plimsoll discusses the inhumane conditions in which the cattle are transported, and the risks that this poses to both the animals and the crew members on board. He also highlights the financial incentives that encourage ship owners to overload their vessels, putting lives at risk. Through his writing, Plimsoll calls for stricter regulations and better treatment of cattle during transportation. The book is an important historical document, shedding light on the mistreatment of animals and the dangers faced by seamen during the 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
