abstract="``Shanghaiing,'' or the forcing of a man to become part of the crew of a merchant ship against his will, plagued the seafaring world between 1849 and 1915. The merchant ships were involved in such trade as opium, tea and gold and the practice was spurred by the opening of the Suez Canal. --",
