In April 1956, a refitted oil tanker carried fifty-eight shipping containers from Newark to Houston. The Box tells the dramatic story of the container's creation, the decade of struggle before it was widely adopted, and the sweeping economic consequences of the sharp fall in transportation costs that containerization brought about.But the container didn't just happen. From that modest beginning, container shipping developed into a huge industry that made the boom in global trade possible.
It required years of high-stakes bargaining with two of the titans of organized labor, Harry Bridges and Teddy Gleason, as well as delicate negotiations on standards that made it possible for almost any container to travel on any truck or Its adoption required huge sums of money, both from private investors and from ports that aspired to be on the leading edge of a new technology.
