A classic game of shipping, first published in the 1950's.
The players are shipowners sending their ship around the world buying goods like coffee from Brazil, rice from Siam and oil from Venezuela, and bringing them to other parts of the world to sell them with a profit.

With its hex-based game board, changing market price for the goods and the players freedom of where to go, Shipping is quite an advanced game and leaves more to be decided by the players then what's normal for games of this period.

The original version is marked Damm game 387 and was published in the 1950's. A new version was published in 1970's but has been OOP since.
