In the booming metropolis of New York, he expanded his brother's "goods commission and banking business" with skill, diligence and a wealth of ideas. Under his aegis, G. Amsinck & Co. survived revolts in South America, attempts to defraud, and shipwrecks. In addition to its core business which consisted especially of sugar and coffee trading the merchant banker also invested in new barrel tyre patents, prefabricated houses and was involved in the construction of the Panama Canal. Privately, Gustav Amsinck appreciates the beautiful arts and traveling. When the Hamburgische Wissenschaftliche Stiftung came into being in 1907, he was one of its most important donors. This biography traces the rise of this man, who achieved prestige and wealth with Hanseatic merchants' virtues in the land of unlimited possibilities. 606 $aHistory$2bicssc 610 $a19th century 610 $a20th century 610 $abanker 610 $abusinessman 610 $acommerce 610 $adonor 610 $aeconomics 610 $aHamburg 610 $aHamburg Scientific Foundation 610 $amerchant 610 $aNew York 615 7$aHistory 700 $aRheinholz$b Constanze$0893911 801 0$bScCtBLL 801 1$bScCtBLL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910149669203321 996 $aGustav Amsinck.
