Source: National Bureau of Economic Research  

Release: NBER Macrohistory Database  

Units:  Thousands of Gross Tons, Not Seasonally Adjusted

Frequency:  Quarterly, End of Quarter

Notes:

Only Merchant Vessels Of 100 Tons Gross And Over Are Included. Data Shown Are For End Of Quarter, And Annual Figures Are Means Of Quarterly Values. Seasonally Adjusted Data For 1882-86 Is Shown Here, Although The NBER Did Not Use It In Analysis. No Seasonally Adjusted Data Is Given For 1916-39, Because No Consistent Seasonality Was Noted. It Is Possible That Large Cyclical Movements Obscured The Seasonal During This Period. Gross Tonnage Represents, In Units Of 100 Cubic Feet, The Entire Capacity Of The Vessel, Including Crew And Engine Space.
