THE SEA AND CIVILIZATION IS THE PERFECT COMPLIMENT TO THE WAY OF THE SHIP
We have been recommending THE WAY OF THE SHIP for over a year now as the best introduction to American maritime history based on its fundamental shift in perspective of the usual American maritime history, telling the story from the domestic fleet carrying commerce between and among our states outward towards our often troubled and far too small blue water international trade fleet. Now we have discovered the best to date international global history of maritime commerce, migration, and exploration. THE SEA AND CIVILIZATION by Lincoln Paine. If you can only own two large maritime histories, these would be the two to own.

"A monumental retelling of world history through the lens of maritime enterprise, revealing in breathtaking depth how people first came into contact with one another by ocean and river, lake and stream, and how goods, languages, religions, and entire cultures spread across and along the world’s waterways, bringing together civilizations and defining what makes us most human.
