When gays had to be closeted, ships - apart from theatre - were the only places where homosexual men could not only be out but also camp. Ignored by other maritime histories, the hidden stories of the thousands of queer seafarers are told in this path-breaking book, by two of the leading authorities on gender and seafaring. Recent interviews with gay seamen and general anecdotal evidence about their social context are set in a solid foundation of late twentieth-century maritime history. Including original photographs and illustrations, this unique volume presents a vital addition to our understanding of both gay and maritime history.
