A world at sea : maritime practices and global history /edited by Lauren Benton and Nathan Perl-Rosenthal. "The past twenty-five years have brought a dramatic expansion of scholarship in maritime history, including new research on piracy, long-distance trade, and seafaring cultures. Yet maritime history still inhabits an isolated corner of world history, according to editors Lauren Benton and Nathan Perl-Rosenthal. Benton and Perl-Rosenthal urge historians to place the relationship between maritime and terrestrial processes at the center of the field and to analyze the links between global maritime practices and major transformations in world history. A World at Sea consists of nine original essays that sharpen and expand our understanding of practices and processes across the land-sea divide and the way they influenced global change. The first section highlights the regulatory order of the seas as shaped by strategies of land-based polities and their agents and by conflicts at sea. The second section studies documentary practices that aggregated and conveyed information about sea voyages and ecnounters, and it traces the wide-ranging impact of the explosion of new inforamtion about the maitime world. Probing the political symbolism of the land-sea divide as a threshold of power, the last section features essays that examine the relationship between littoral geographies and socieolegal practices spanning land and sea. Maritime history, the contributors show, matters because the oceans were key sites of experimentation, innovation, and disruption that reflected and sparked wide-ranging global change."--Provided by the publisher. 2020. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 551.46

Like a wicked Noah's Ark : the Nautical School Ships Vernon & Sobraon /Sarah Luke. "Step back in time to 1860s Sydney, when ragged children populated the harbour city's slums, picking pockets and scraping a living selling matches and watercress. Neglected youths formed the city's gangs, thieving and assaulting the unwary. These 'larrikins' often ended up in gaol, and received a thorough criminal education from Faginesque professors of the art. In 1867 a solution to this problem was found. Fitted out for the reception of New South Wales' delinquent and abandoned boys, a Nautical School Ship was moored permanently within sight of Circular Quay on Sydney Harbour. The Colony's prisons were drained of their young inmates, and they were herded together in their dozens -- and later, hundreds -- on board. Like a Wicked Noah's Ark is the full and close-up history of this ground-breaking experiment in juvenile reformation, which operated continuously until 1911 on the Vernon and Sobraon."--Provided by the publisher. 2020. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 365/.42099441
