Résumé

From the sinkings of the El Faro to the Andrea Doria, with dozens of similar maritime tragedies in between, the vague explanation of "human error" has been cited as the reason for the tragedies.  For the first time, a 40-year safety consultant challenges much of that causation theory as too simple. The captain and crew, too often, in modern maritime history have become the scapegoats for far deeper failures of ship design, ship inspection and maintenance, shipping timetables, mechanical deficiencies, poor ship construction, overloading, improper loading, and delayed ship replacement, among myriad other circumstances. A common thread of greed, hubris, and miscalculation run through the dozens of international disasters.  Ninety percent of our daily needs depend on the all but invisible world of international shipping.  Are we racing toward disaster or greater transportation sophistication?  In the world's rush to autonomous shipping and supersized NeoPanamax ships, SeaBlameworthiness offers many reasons for caution.  
Richard Hughes closed his 24-seat safety training center on Cape Cod to become a retired student of modern worldwide shipping operations. He graduated from Massachusetts Maritime Academy with a B. S. in Marine Transportation then obtained a Masters Degree in Business from Lesley University. While at MMA, he sailed on the Bay State, the Lightning, and the Mobil Lube. His books include the Cape Safety, Inc.
- Danger Dogs Series-a collection of 12 novels detailing the exciting lives of a top-notch bi-coastal safety consulting firm. His popular non-fiction Deep Sea Decisions is an expose of maritime tragedies. He and his wife, Lavinia M. Hughes, have co-authored Newtucket Island, Training Ship, Cape Car Blues and Mikey Mayflower - The Early Years. He lives and writes in the seaside village of Waquoit, MA, with his wife.
