This book deals with the economic impact of technological changes
and the rise of passenger shipping on social relations on board and
ashore in European shipping industries between c.1850 and
2000. The changes in motive power, communication techniques
and positioning technologies and the rise of passenger shipping
went together with the creation of new tasks and functions and the
marginalization or disappearance of traditional jobs and skills.
This book presents case-studies on changes in different maritime
professions between the middle of the nineteenth century and the
end of the twentieth century, covering the shipping industries of a
variety of seafaring countries in Europe. The subjects include
changes in maritime labour at large, changes in specific groups of
deck, catering or engine room personnel, such as captains, cooks,
catering personnel, engineers, or radio-operators. A number of
chapters employ a prosopographical or micro-historical
approach, while others apply a spatial perspective, analyze
business records, materials from professional associations or
distil information from large sets of quantitative data. This book
will be of interest to academics and students of economic history,
maritime and labour history.
