The Arts: General & Reference; History

The history and culture of Europe has been

decisively shaped by the exploration and use of the

seas surrounding Europe. This catalogue book

reflects the significance of the sea as a space of rule

and trade for Europeans, as bridge and border, as

resource and a site of desire. The book also reviews

the changing perception of the sea in the arts.

Europe is a maritime continent: measured by the

length of its coasts and its total size, none of the

five continental masses on the planet has more

points of cont act with the seas than Europe. The

importance of the sea for the development of

European civilisation is illustrated by the themes of

myths, shipbuilding and seafaring, rule of the seas,

European coastal trade, expansion, the slave trade,

migration, the ma ritime global economy, resources,

oceanography, tourism, and the artistic perception

of the sea. Thirteen themes, each linked to a port

city, range from Antiquity to the present day and

demonstrate that the domination of the seas was a

central component of European power politics for

centuries.
