Description

Explore the complex maritime world of the English merchant shipping industry from 1350 to 1450. This historical study provides a comprehensive look at the daily lives and heavy responsibilities faced by medieval shipmasters during a transformative century. Even while navigating challenges such as war, piracy, bullion shortages, and unpredictable weather, the English shipping industry saw significant growth. This book examines how new markets emerged and how voyages became longer and more profitable. You will learn how ships and cargoes increased in size and value, leading to a rise in ship ownership as a common investment throughout the community. Drawing from a rich range of examples found in court and parliament records, this work offers a detailed view of the legal and business structures that governed the sea. It is an essential resource for those interested in the economic and social history of medieval England and the development of maritime commerce.
