Resumen
As Korea’s economy has developed swiftly over the past few decades, its shipping indus-try has grown so rapidly that in 2021 it was the seventh largest ship-controlling countryin the world. Some have argued that Japanese colonial rule caused the rapid growth ofKorea’s economy. This article analyses shipping activities and marine education from1910 to 1945 to confirm the origin of the modern shipping industry in Korea. Afterreviewing the arguments on the role of colonial rule in the development of shipping dur-ing the colonial period, the article reconstructs the development process of the ChosenYusen Corporation as the sole ocean-going shipping company during the colonial period.The role of marine education is then discussed in relation to cultivating human capital forthe shipping industry. This article might help with understanding that colonial rule itselfcannot bring about the development of a former colonial country after liberation
