◆ The most comprehensive reference work on the sea
and its influence on human life
◆ Over 900 original, signed articles by an international
group of expert historians and naval officers
This is an encyclopedia of maritime history that covers the entire history
of seafaring, from ancient Egyptian shipbuilders to Viking sea-raiders,
from Nelson and the Napoleonic Wars to the nuclear submarines and
supertankers of today. Placing maritime affairs in their larger historical
context, the Encyclopedia shows how seafaring has both reflected and
influenced the major economic, cultural, military, and political
developments in world history.
The Encyclopedia offers a uniquely integrated approach. It emphasizes
the connections between maritime history and such fields as naval
history, shipbuilding, navigation and scientific instrumentation, maritime
art and literature, commerce and economics, exploration and maritime
geography, oceanography and hydrology, and international maritime
law. As a result, a wealth of information is available in a single
reference work that
could otherwise be
found only with
the help of an
extensive
library.
