War Shipping Administration was created in 1942.
At the height of his shipping career just before the Civil War, Cornelius Vanderbilt took significant risks by heavily investing in the shipping industry, particularly in steamships. He faced the potential for financial loss due to fluctuating market demands, competition, and the increasing costs of operations. Additionally, the looming threat of war created uncertainty in trade routes and shipping security, which could jeopardize his investments. Despite these risks, Vanderbilt's aggressive expansion and strategic decisions ultimately positioned him as a dominant figure in American transportation.
