A comprehensive picture of the life and responsibilities of an
English medieval shipmaster. Despite a background of war, piracy,
depopulation, bullion shortages, adverse political decisions, legal
uncertainties and deteriorating weather conditions, between the
mid-fourteenth and the mid-fifteenth centuries the English merchant
shipping industry thrived. New markets were developed, voyages
became longer, ships and cargoes increased in size and value, and
an interest in ship ownership as an investment spread throughout
the community. Using a rich range of examples drawn from court and
parliamentary records, contemporary literature and the
codifications of maritime law, this book illuminates the evolving
management and commercial practices which developed to regulate the
relationships between shipowners, shipmasters, crews and shipping
merchants. It also brings to life ship performance, navigation,
seamanship, and the frequently harsh conditions on board.
