Note(s) : "Ships have histories that are interwoven with the human fabric of the maritime world.
In the long nineteenth century these histories revolved around the re-invention of
these once familiar objects in a period in which Britain became a major maritime power.
This multi-disciplinary volume deploys different historical, geographical, cultural
and literary perspectives to examine this transformation and to offer a series of
interconnected considerations of maritime technology and culture in a period of significant
and lasting change. Its ten authors reveal the processes involved through the eyes
and hands of a range of actors, including naval architects, dockyard workers, commercial
shipowners and Navy officers. By locating the ship's re-invention within the contexts
of builders, owners and users, they illustrate the ways in which material elements,
as well as scientific, artisan and seafaring ideas and practices, were bound together
in the construction of ships' complex identities."--from Amazon
