The World of the Medieval Shipmaster: Law, Business and the Sea, c.1350-1450

by Robin Ward

Using a rich range of examples drawn from court and parliamentary records, contemporary literature and the codifications of maritime law, this book illuminates the evolving management and commercial practices which developed during the Later Middle Ages to regulate the relationships between shipowners, shipmasters, crews and shipping merchants. It also brings to life ship performance, navigation, seamanship, and the frequently harsh conditions on board. 260p b/w pls (Boydell 2009)
