For Langewiesche, the ocean is still a frontier, a lawless domain where brute economics always trumps moral considerations. His overview ranges from a story of contemporary piracy off the coast of Indonesia to a portrait of the ship-breaking yards of India, where workers die by the dozen. The author shows us just how wild and little-observed the seas of the world really are, even in the modern age of satellites and surveillance planes. He spends a bit too much of the book on one tragic accident when I'd have liked more detail about the big picture of ocean commerce and crime, but that is my preference.

William Langewiesche vividly reports on the unforgiving & brutal forces, both natural and manmade to which those who take to the sea are exposed.

William Langewiesche's The Outlaw Sea is quite an eye-opener for a land lubber like Nicholas Lezard. In an increasingly regimented world, the seas remain an outpost of anarchy. Ships fly under flags of convenience which offer no clue as to the true whereabouts of the owners; they are crewed by the cheapest labour. Of the Kristal, a ship carrying molasses which sank in the Atlantic in 2001, William Langewiesche writes: "There is little risk to the principals involved - the customers and shipping companies - because the hulls and cargoes are insured, and in the event of an accident and a spill, molasses disperses easily and disappears without a trace.

The Outlaw Sea: A World of Freedom, Chaos, and Crime. With typically understated lyricism, William Langewiesche explores this ocean world and the enterprises-licit and illicit-that flourish in the privacy afforded by its horizons. But its efficiencies are accompanied by global problems-shipwrecks and pollution, the hard lives and deaths of the crews of the gargantuan ships, and the growth of two pathogens: a modern and sophisticated strain of piracy and its close cousin, the maritime form of the new stateless terrorism. This is the outlaw sea that Langewiesche brings startlingly into view.

William Langewiesche. Three quarters of the world is made up of ocean; vast, untamed expanses of water, impossible to police rigorously.

William Langewiesche. For travellers by sea there is an ever-present danger of shipwreck, the age-old problem of piracy, and now an alarming new threat of terrorism. Forty-three thousand gargantuan ships navigate their way across the oceans, carrying nearly all the raw material and products on which our lives depend. Out at sea, ships become tiny islands, with their own distinct and isolated rules. Many are owned or managed by companies so ghostly that they only exist on paper.
