| Summary |
"Drawing on the enormous variety of maritime experience in the region of the Baltic and the North Seas, this book questions the assertion that there was a common maritime culture on the shores of these northern seas." "Commencing with the end of the Ice Age, The Baltic and the North Seas includes coverage of the power struggles of the region from the early traders and raiders, through the merchants, princes and pirates of the Middle Ages to the era of Great Power politics; trade and fishing; ships and shipbuilding; the art of navigation; maritime women and gender roles; and the power of the seas and land reclamation."--Jacket |
