Description

Explore the deep connection between nineteenth-century London and its massive port in this authoritative work by Sarah Palmer. Published by Cambridge University Press, this book moves beyond separate histories of the city and its docks to present London as a unified maritime hub. Palmer examines how trade, shipping, and shipbuilding drove the urban economy. The text covers the essential sectors that supported the port, including marine insurance and the various services required to meet the needs of seafarers ashore. By analyzing records from the National Archives, dock companies, and the London Metropolitan Archives, this study provides a comprehensive view of how the maritime industry shaped the lives and livelihoods of Londoners from 1780 to 1914.
