Nevertheless, in both business or economic history, shipping has remained relatively overlooked. That gap is filled by this exploration of the evolution of European shipping through the study of two Greek shipping firms. They provide a prime example of the regional European maritime businesses that evolved to serve Europe's international trade and, eventually, the global economy. By the end of the twentieth century, Greeks owned more ships than any other nationality. The story of the Vagliano brothers traces the transformation of Greek shipping from local shipping and trading to international shipping and ship management, while the case of Aristotle Onassis reveals how international shipping was transformed into a global business.14aOnassis, Aristotle Socrates, d1906-1975. 14aVagliano, Marinos, d(c.1882 - 1960)  4aTransporte zEuropaxHistoria 4aTransporte zGreciaxHistoria 4aTransporte de carga 4aTransporte marítimo de carga  4aTransporte marítimo
