Identification of the shipping district in New York, Houston and Seattle: 1956 and 1987

---

In the world’s great seaport cities, the offices of steamship lines were seldom far from the docks. Intuitively, workers in the port community could identify a waterfront and near-waterfront domain where most of their daily affairs with ships and cargoes occurred. This we have called the shipping district. It was a distinct but not an exclusive domain, since it was shared by other commercial forms and functions. In this paper an attempt is made to identify the shipping districts in New York, Houston and Seattle as they were before the container revolution and as they are today. The locations of steamship offices, from which daily shipping affairs are managed,-serve as initial geographical clues in this research. Explanations of changing patterns of office location over the past three decades are derived in part from interviews with shipping personnel in the three seaports and in part from an analysis of certain basic trends in transport and communications technology and in urban growth.
