Coastal and Short Sea Shipping (Studies in Transport History)

Each volume in this series is a collection of articles in the study of transport history, selected from a leading journal in the field. Each contains articles selected by a distinguished scholar, as well as an authorative introduction by the volume editor. Individually they form a foundation to the study of the history of a mode of transport; together they make a library of modern research in the field. This volume on coastal and short sea shipping presents articles on various subjects in this field such as the contribution of cross-channel and coastal vessels to developments in marine practice; some aspects of pasenger travel between Britain and Ireland, 1820-1850; and wages prices and profitability in the shipping industry during the Napoleonic wars.
