A survey of a wide range of new research on many aspects of life at
sea in the early modern period. Maritime social history is a
relatively young and fertile field, with many new research findings
being discovered on a wide range of aspects of the subject. This
book, together with its companion volume The Social History of
English Seamen, 1485-1649 (The Boydell Press, 2011), pulls together
and makes accessible this large body of research work. Subjects
covered include life at sea in different parts of the period for
both officers and seamen, in both the navy and in merchant ships;
piracy and privateering; health, health care and disability;
seamen's food; homosexuality afloat; and the role of women at sea
and on land. Written by leading experts in their field, the
volumesoffer a nuanced portrait of seafarers' existence as well as
an overview of the current state of the historiography. CHERYL A.
FURY is Professor of History at the University of New Brunswick
(Saint John campus) and a Fellow of the Gregg Centre for War and
Society. Contributors: J.D. ALSOP, JOHN APPLEBY, JEREMY BLACK, B.
