Queen of the Sea Routes chronicles the fortunes and occasional misfortunes of The Merchants and Miners Transportation Company (known as the M&M), which connected major ports on the East Coast of the United States from 1852 until regular passenger and freight service was suspended upon the nation's entry into World War II. This story of the M&M, whose corporate exsistence was wound up just one month short of its centennial, describes the company's long life and how it responded to profound changes in the transportation infrastructure along the East Coast from Boston to Miami.
