Frank Herbert

[edit]

In "Children of Dune" by Frank Herbert, the first sentences of the introduction (written by Brian Herbert) suggest containerization was his idea:

Frank Herbert had a remarkably inventive and original mind. In his first novel, The Dragon in the Sea (1956), he came up with the concept of containerized shipping, an idea that the Japanese later commercialized to enormous success.

It's clear from the Containerization article that the idea had been around long before that. However, it's interesting to note that some people believe it to have a more modern origin. --Mr. Lance E Sloan (talk) 13:01, 14 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
