Transporting goods by large ship as actually the most economical way to get things sent to distant parts of the world. Pound for pound they use less fuel than any other mode of transport. Since there are no train tracks from the United Kingdom to the US and flying would be out of the question for large items, the only way left is by cargo ship.
