The Law of the Whale Hunt
ISBN: 9781107114630 / Angielski / Twarda / 204 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Whale oil lit the cities and greased the machines of the Industrial Revolution. In light of its importance, competition between whalers was high. Far from courts and law enforcement, competing crews of American whalers not known for their gentility and armed with harpoons tended to resolve disputes at sea over ownership of whales. Left to settle arguments on their own, whalemen created norms and customs to decide ownership of whales pursued by multiple crews. The Law of the Whale Hunt provides an innovative examination of how property law was created in the absence of formal legal...

The Labors of Sir Francis Drake
ISBN: 9780986085642 / Angielski / Miękka / 254 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In 1577 Elizabeth I, last of the Tudor monarchs, sent Francis Drake to lay claim for an English settlement in northwest America and authorizing his piracy to avenge destruction of English trading vessels. His labor accomplished-at Nehalem Bay in Oregon and the largest treasure cache ever confiscated-Drake circled the world in order to avoid retaliation, for which she knighted him. Her wish to honor one of the nobility, however, for this accomplishment, instead of this greatest of sea captains, led to a cover-up perpetuated to this day.

When the steamship Vestris pulled away from her Hoboken pier on a sunny day in November 1928, headed for Buenos Aires, carrying almost 8,000 tons of cargo, 128 civilian passengers, and 197 crew members, all seemed well. In truth, she was a decrepit old ship, not seaworthy in anything but the best of weather. The weather on this trip would prove too severe for this tired vessel. Even so, the Vestris might have survived had it not been for a series of blunders by both the ship's crew and her officers. These errors, combined...

ISBN: 9780252040559 / Angielski / Twarda / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Sowande' Mustakeem's groundbreaking study goes inside the Atlantic slave trade to explore the social conditions and human costs embedded in the world of maritime slavery. Mining ship logs,...
