The Union Merchant Marine decline during the Civil War because its ships were object of a relentless and successful hunting by the cruiser of Confederate Navy or by the privateers.

It became so weakened that it was replaced in its routes by other merchant marines, mainly that of Great Britain and after the war it was no more able to restore its former importance on the top of the maritime trading he had had before the war.
