We live in a world that is ever on the move, as is increasingly
recognised within research on mobilities. Yet studies of mobility
have failed to 'go to sea' with the same enthusiasm as mobilities
ashore. When we consider mobility, we most often examine those
movements that evidently form part of our everyday lives. We forget
to look outwards to the sea. Yet ships have played - and continue
to play - a significant role in shaping socio-cultural, political
and economic life. This book turns our attention to the manifold
mobilities that occur at sea through an exploration of the
mobilities of ships themselves as well as the movements of objects,
subjects and ideas that are mobilised by ships. The Mobilities of
Ships brings together seven chapters that tack through unexplored
waters and move between diverse case studies, including pirate
ships, naval vessels and luxury yachts. In so doing, The Mobilities
of Ships offers a rich insight into the world of shipping
mobilities past and present. This book was published as a special
issue of Mobilities.
