A Maritime
History of Somerset
Volume 1: Trade & Commerce
|
A
Maritime History of Somerset This is the first in a series of volumes to be published by the Somerset Archaeological & Natural History Society covering original research into aspects of the maritime history of the ancient county of Somerset. Somerset has a rich and varied maritime heritage, aspects of which are brought to light in this volume. Many communities depended on the sea for their livelihood, not just for the goods that came and went from their ports, but also for the people who were associated with those transactions. This book contains a wealth of information on the trade and commerce witnessed in Somerset from the sixteenth century onwards, written by a collective of authors based upon original research. Attractively presented, with numerous illustrations, many of which have not been published before, new maps, tables and graphs, this volume offers a wealth of information on a subject growing in popularity, and will be of interest both to scholars and the general reader. |
