Excerpt: ...In February, 1835, the following account was also published in the magazine: --" The ' Elizabeth Rashleigh, ' of Plymouth, from Quebec for Padstow, experienced a violent gale of wind from w. s. w., on the 4th u1t., in 48 N., long. 27 w., and became water-logged. During the storm, six of the crew were washed overboard; the master, two mates and three seamen took to the long-boat, and were icked up by the ' Caroline, ' after having been nine days in that perilous state, during w ich time one of the unfortunate sufierers died insane. As the only means of saving their lives, the survivors were obliged to have recourse to the horrible expedient of drinking the blood and eating the flesh of their deceased shipmate, even to the entrails. Previously their only sustenance had been a few raw potatoes, ' which had been exhausted for some days, though only a single potato was served out to each man per diem. The captain, Rashleigh, still lies at Plymouth, in a very dangerous state." In February, 1836, an account was published respecting the " Earl Killie," Captain Hindmarsh, formerly an East-india-man, a vessel about 560 tons, left Quebec on the 15th of November, loaded Mr. G. c. S, 't;, . with deals, bound to London, with a crew of 28 men and one passenger. She was upset 4 June 1839. in a gale of wind; several men perished. When she righted, her deck-load, anchors and chain cables were gone, and the survivors lived upon rats and the dead body of the mate until taken off by the Marsden, Captain Hall Robson, of Sunderland, from Quebec, bound to Hull, The same month a statement was extracted from the New York Advertiser, respecting the Edgar, a ship Tiber, Captain Oliver, from Hamburgh, fell in with it; four...

Why Britain’s attempt at small government proved unable to cope with the challenges of the modern world In the nineteenth century, as Britain attained a leading economic and political position in Europe, British policymakers embarked on a bold experiment with small and limited government. By the outbreak of the First World War, however, this laissez-faire philosophy of government had been abandoned and the country had taken its first steps toward becoming a modern welfare state. This book tells the story of Britain’s laissez-faire experiment, examining why it was done, how it functioned, and why it was ultimately rejected in favor of a more interventionist form of governance. Blending insights from modern economic theory with a wealth of historical evidence, W. Walker Hanlon traces the slow expansion of government intervention across a broad spectrum of government functions in order to understand why and how Britain gave up on laissez-faire. It was not abandoned because Britain’s leaders lost faith in small government as some have suggested, nor did it collapse under the growing influence of working-class political power. Instead, Britain’s move away from small government was a pragmatic and piecemeal response—by policymakers who often deeply believed in laissez-faire—to the economic forces unleashed by the Industrial Revolution.

This unique book charts the regulation of British ships throughout the nineteenth century, from no regulation in 1800, to enactment in the 1890s, of a model of customary and national maritime law adopted by many States. Primary issues addressed include unseaworthiness, overloading, under-manning, lack of qualifications, dangerous cargoes, loss of life, collision avoidance, lifesaving appliances, marine insurance and maritime administration. These matters are analysed in the context of the societal, political, technical and historical issues of the day, including an entrenched laissez faire attitude amongst politicians to any regulation of ships. Regardless of the huge loss of life at sea throughout the nineteenth century, recalled through accounts of many long-forgotten shipwrecks, loss of life finally waned towards the very end of the century. The primary audience will be academics, maritime lawyers, maritime training institutions, students of international maritime law, law libraries, international maritime organisations, maritime and legal historians, book agents and all those interested in maritime history, safety of life at sea and the development of maritime law. The author is a widely experienced Chartered Master Mariner, shipmaster, maritime administrator and academic.

There was a time in history when the sea was as important as the land for defining a country's social and cultural identity. Outrageous Seas is about that time, and about the harrowing, almost mythic, experience of shipwreck, near-shipwreck, and survival in waters off Newfoundland. Travellers from many walks of life - explorers and missionaries, traders, fishers and mariners, Native Peoples, aristocrats and immigrants - have left rare and fascinating first-hand accounts of such disasters. Their narratives span four centuries and touch many historical sub-themes such as the appeal of religion in times of crisis, gender roles, and the ocean-as-workplace. Apart from its obvious scholarly appeal, this collection evokes psychic responses to calamity and brushes with death, perhaps the most universal experience of all.

This book presents twelve essays by historian David M. Williams, in order to pay tribute to his career. The essays stretch from 1807 through to the end of the nineteenth century, and address both economic and social themes. Topics include maritime trade, deployment of merchant ships, the state regulations concerning shipping, shipwrecks and loss of life, passenger cargoes, slavery, cotton, timber and coffee trades, and the working conditions of seamen over the course of the century. The plight of the maritime labourer is at the core of this collection. The essays primarily focus on British shipping, and firmly places it within an international context. The book is introduced by Lars U. Scholl, followed by two tributes to Williams’ career, one by Peter N. Davies, the other by Lewis R. Fischer. Scholl concludes the volume with a thorough bibliography of Williams’ maritime writings: books, chapters, and articles.

Cannibalism and the Common Law is an enthralling classic of legal history. It tells the tragic story of the yacht Mignonette, which foundered on its way from England to Australia in 1884. The killing and eating of one of the crew, Richard Parker, led to the leading case in the defence of necessity, R. v. Dudley and Stephens. It resulted in their being convicted and sentenced to death, a sentence subsequently commuted. In this tour de force Brian Simpson sets the legal proceedings in their broadest historical context, providing a detailed account of the events and characters involved and of life at sea in the time of sail. Cannibalism and the Common Law is a demonstration that legal history can be written in human terms and can be compulsive reading. This brilliant and fascinating book, a marvelous example of eareful historical detection, and first-class legal history, written by a master.
