A HISTORY OF SEAFARING Based on Underwater Archaeology.
Edited by George Bass.
Published by Thames and Hudson in 1972, UK Here for the first time a history of seafaring, from its earliest beginnings to the advent of steam power, has been treated primarily from the archaeological standpoint - a project made possible by the remarkable advances in underwater archaeology of the last two decades.
A number of experienced marine biologists investigated the wrecks, covering everything from Greek, Etruscan and Phoenician shipping, to Greek and Roman harborworks, ships of the Roman period and after in Britain, Scandinavian ships up to the time of the Vikings, and the ships of medieval and Renaissance Italy. Later chapters describe the influence of British naval strategy on ship design, the traders and privateers who plied the Atlantic from the 15th to mid-18th centuries. Highly sophisticated underwater archaeological techniques which are described and illustrated in full detail were used.
A fascinating book for readers interested in the history of seafaring and underwater exploration of ship wrecks.
