This second volume of articles by G.V. Scammell offers new insights
into the history of British and European shipping in the centuries
of Europe's penetration into the oceans of the world, from the 15th
to the 18th century. It examines the building, ownership and
operation of merchantmen in the context of economic and social
developments of the period, combining this with the investigation
of the vital, but still comparatively neglected, subjects of the
lives, working conditions, beliefs, skills and behaviour of seamen.
This is the basis for discussion of the means and methods by which
British shipping and merchants established themselves in oceanic
trades, including those of other powers, considered in relation to
the growth of British maritime and commercial supremacy. The final
studies then examine the causes and consequences of European and
British seaborne expansion, particularly in Asia.
