This book explores the historical evolution of a Mediterranean
village that radically changed its core self-sustaining activities
in less than a century, from fishing for anchovies in the Ligurian
Sea to rounding Cape Horn. Drawing on a vast set of unpublished
archival sources, this book addresses a micro-historical subject to
investigate macro-historical processes, including the technological
transition from sail to steam and globalization. At the core of the
book lie Camogli's rise in the world shipping industry and the
transformations that occurred in its maritime labor system;
seaborne trade, maritime routes, individual careers in seafaring
represent the vivid elements that contribute to the book's dive
into the nineteenth-century maritime world.
