Seafarers were the first workers to inhabit a truly international
labour market, a sector of industry which, throughout the early
modern period, drove European economic and imperial expansion,
technological and scientific development, and cultural and material
exchanges around the world. This volume adopts a comparative
perspective, presenting current research about maritime labourers
across three centuries, in the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic
and Indian Oceans, to understand how seafarers contributed to legal
and economic transformation within Europe and across the world.
Focusing on the three related themes of legal systems, labouring
conditions, and imperial power, these essays explore the dynamic
and reciprocal relationship between seafarers' individual and
collective agency, and the social and economic frameworks which
structured their lives.
