No. 94 and No. 95. 42 GOVERNMENT AID TO AMERICAN SHIPBUILDING TARIFF CONCESSIONS TO SHIPBUILDING After the Civil War had ended shipbuilding suffered very greatly indeed. The demand that should have come from a revived com- merce upon the restoration of peace did not come. Our shipowners could not compete successfully with the foreigners. During the three years following the war our shipowners were carrying only about one- half as mu...ch of our foreign commerce as they had carried during 1861. No government relief was attempted until 1869 when the House of Representatives appointed a committee to inquire into the causes of the decline of American tonnage in our foreign shipping and to report remedies for the restoration of the United States to its former position as a maritime power. The report of this com- mittee, the well-known Lynch report, was made on February 17, 1870. 119 In the hearings before the committee strong demands were made by ship owners that they should be allowed to purchase foreign- built ships wherever they could get them cheapest and have them registered as American ships.
