This book offers the first detailed examination for many years of
the transatlantic trade and shipping of Bristol during the
eighteenth century. It compares the performance of Bristol as a
port during this period with the growth of other out ports,
especially Liverpool and Glasgow. Dr Morgan's analysis shows that
the absolute growth of Bristol's Atlantic trade between 1700 and
1800 was concomitant with the relative decline of Bristol as a
port; the main reasons for this decline were the lack of
improvement to port facilities, increasing specialisation among the
Bristol merchant community, the impact of war on trade, and the
superior business acumen in the tobacco and slave trades manifested
by Glasgow and Liverpool merchants respectively. Bristol and the
Atlantic Trade is based on a great variety of primary sources in
the British Isles, the USA, the West Indies, Australia and
continental Europe.
