History of containers and its uses
It started back in the 1700s but began to realised of its importance in the 20th century.
In 1830s, railroads began transfering and transporting containers that would be loaded on trucks and ships, but it was small compared to today's steel containers. Circa 1840s, iron boxes and heavy wooden boxes were introduced, and around the early 1900s saw the usage of closed container boxes made especially to move or transport things between the road and the railroad.
In the 20th century, the United Kingdom began to use similar containers and in the 1920s, the Railway Clearing House (RCH) standardised the RCH Container (five or ten foot long, wooden, non-stackable)
The United States Army began using specialized containers to speed up the loading and unloading of transport ships just toward the end of WW2. The army used the term "transporters" to identify the containers, for shipping household goods of officers in the field. During the Korean War the transporter was evaluated for handling sensitive military equipment, and proving effective, was approved for broader use. Theft of material and damage to wooden crates, in addition to handling time, by stevedores at the Port of Pusan, proved to the army that steel containers were needed. In 1952 the army began using the term CONEX, short for "Container Express". After the U.S. Department of Defense standardized an 8'x8' cross section container in multiples of 10' lengths for military use it was rapidly adopted for shipping purposes.
These standards were adopted in the United Kingdom for containers and rapidly displaced the older wooden containers in the 1950s.

Rattlin, the Reefer $30.19 If you like the novels of Frederick Marryat youll love Edward Howards Rattlin, the Reefer. Rattlin, the Reefer was edited by Frederick Marryat for his friend and fellow captain Edward Howard. For several generations, however, people thought it was actually written by Marryat because it was that good. Like many of Marryats books, this book is thought to be autobiographical; although this was never specifically confirmed by Captain Howard himself. However, from the main characters early schooling, to his life as a midshipman, to his experiences aboard ship, there is nothing in this book that could not have happened to a young man in the early 1800s. As such it gives us a wonderful insight into that period. Ralph Rattlin tells his life story with a kind of offhand humor that is truly engaging. The storys accuracy to nautical detail is totalit could hardly be otherwise with someone like Frederick Marryat as the editorand the scenes are crisp and vivid. While almost unknown to modern audiences, Edward Howards writing has been favorably compared to that of Tobias Smollett and Herman Melville. If you enjoy those writersand especially if you love the works of Frederick Marryatyoull love Edward Howards Rattlin, the Reefer Author: Howard, Edward/ Marryat, Frederick Binding Type: Paperback Number of Pages: 388 Publication Date: 2008/05/01 Language: English Dimensions: 9.00 x 6.00 x 0.86 inches |
