Cornwall is quintessentially a maritime region. Almost an island,
nowhere in it is further than 25 miles from the sea. Cornwall's
often distinctive history has been moulded by this omnipresent
maritime environment, while its strategic position at the western
approaches-jutting out into the Atlantic-has given this history a
global impact. It is perhaps surprising then, that, despite the
central place of the sea in Cornwall's history, there has not yet
been a full maritime history of Cornwall. The Maritime History of
Cornwall sets out to fill this gap, exploring the rich and complex
maritime inheritance of this unique peninsula. In a beautifully
illustrated volume, individually commissioned contributions from
distinguished historians elaborate on the importance of different
periods, from the Middle Ages to the twentieth century. The
Maritime History of Cornwall is a significant addition to the
literature of international maritime history and is indispensable
to those with an interest in Cornwall past and present. Winner of
the Holyer an Gof Non-Fiction Award 2015.
