Amid so much to commend this reviewer might be permitted one grumble. The author’s predominating focus is on the great expeditions to mainland Europe. Apart from examination of the 1801 Egyptian expedition, the author’s analysis of long-distance and transoceanic expeditions is fairly brief – even on Egypt, there is little consideration of how the transports were obtained or their composition, and nothing on their condition and the need to repair them at Minorca and Malta on their way to their destination. More questions might have been asked about the nature of the transport contribution to Britain’s global military reach. Transports on distant stations were a valuable but fragile commodity which local commanders were reluctant to return to the Board. How were local transports obtained, on what terms, and how were they maintained at a distance from the main European repair facilities? Perhaps more might have been said by way of illustration on the expedition that captured Martinique in 1809 to add to his picture of that year as one of the best in the Transport Board’s history. The military commander of the Egyptian expedition, Sir Ralph Abercromby, remarked as he was about to set out that ‘there are risks in a British warfare unknown in any other service’ (see TNA, WO 1/345, Abercromby to Dundas, 15 January 1801). The risks were those of amphibious warfare, frequently overlooked by politicians of the day and by many military historians since. One of the most crucial factors in managing those risks and sustaining British offensive operations throughout the world was the ability of the Board of Transport to provide the ships without which no expedition could succeed. Robert Sutcliffe’s book should be compulsory reading for anyone wishing to understand the fundamental basis of British expeditionary warfare in the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Great War with France.","PeriodicalId":38023,"journal":{"name":"Journal for Maritime Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75266283","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The stereotypical and often caricatured image of the pirate abounds across British society, whether in novels, in film or on the stage. This public obsession has frequently obscured scholarly efforts to understand better the lives and motivations of the numerous individuals who turned to criminality at sea. In recent years, however, researchers from a range of backgrounds have re-assessed and often overturned some of the long-standing myths that surround this ever-engaging subject. There is now, for example, a greater appreciation of the differences between corsairs, buccaneers and privateers and the many other seafarers that have been labelled as pirates. The ‘Golden Age of Piracy’ (itself a loaded and problematic term) has been situated in the longer history of maritime violence, from the ancient era through the present day. Similarly, piracy has been appreciated as a truly global activity, limited not just to the Caribbean, but also taking in the Mediterranean, the Baltic and the Indian Ocean (and, of course, Penzance). Pirates are now studied from the land as well as the sea, conforming to a broader trend within maritime history. Scholars now appreciate more fully the communities that produced and sustained piracy, while others have considered their remarkable cultural impact. As a result, our understanding of piracy has become more refined and more sophisticated. Indeed, research continues apace. This special issue of the Journal for Maritime Research presents four articles that shed new light on the subject of piracy, in all its guises. Each article is evidence of the great number of disciplines that now have a stake in these historical debates, including scholars of literature, law, warfare, politics, society and culture. We hope these fresh approaches to the study of piracy and the maritime world more generally will encourage further research into this fascinating topic.","PeriodicalId":38023,"journal":{"name":"Journal for Maritime Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83913761","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Sir John Franklin, on his final voyage, impressed those who heard him ‘read the Church service’ (194). Such attachment to liturgy within the Navy may have laid the foundations for a chaplaincy that Blake concedes was increasingly Tractarian in the later nineteenth century. At the very least, it suggests that seafaring piety was frequently manifested in idioms that were not evangelical. Nevertheless, Blake’s study is to be commended for its range. Sections on obscurer topics such as the place of Roman Catholics in the Navy and of religion on polar expeditions are illuminating. He even finds a place for broad church Anglicanism, pointing out that the Duke of Somerset, First Lord of the Admiralty and the author of a work of liberal theology, did much to reinvigorate the naval chaplaincy in the 1860s (137). Blake also suggests that the religious implications of this era in the Navy’s history were evident well into the twentieth century, relating instances of spontaneous prayer at key moments in the Second World War (241–2). Yet one is left wondering, was ‘the predominance of evangelicalism’ (x) really at the root of this? Or was there a wider Protestant tradition within the nineteenth-century Navy, of which ‘the evangelical idiom’ was but one expression? More research is required to address this issue fully. For such a line of enquiry, Blake’s painstaking work will constitute an invaluable starting point.","PeriodicalId":38023,"journal":{"name":"Journal for Maritime Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89789395","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Barbary’s slow death: European attempts to eradicate North African piracy in the early nineteenth century 巴巴里的缓慢死亡:19世纪初欧洲人试图根除北非海盗

This article challenges that idea by examining the 15-year period from Napoleon’s Hundred Days through French colonisation when Western powers repeatedly attacked the Barbary States. Despite the attention received by Decatur or Exmouth's attacks, neither eliminated the corsairs nor did any attack that followed. The end of the Napoleonic wars changed European power relations making the Barbary corsairs intolerable; Britain’s responsibility for and protection of small Italian states (the bulk of the corsairs prey) continued after the war. Britain’s new position as ‘protector’ of the Mediterranean and the Congress of Vienna’s denouncement of piracy eliminated European tolerance for the corsairs as demonstrated by the 10 different attacks on Barbary between 1815 and 1830. Post-war instability and repeated environmental crises across North Africa also weakened the Barbary States. Corsairs endured beyond Exmouth’s bombardment, and piracy lasted in North Africa beyond French invasion of Algiers. Changes in European power relations eliminated the corsair institution through the colonisation of Barbary, not isolated attacks on its ports.","PeriodicalId":38023,"journal":{"name":"Journal for Maritime Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90060299","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, he developed a model of a pile driving machine that, he claimed, would replace the need for three-quarters of the prevailing labour force (123). However, we know very little about the machine or its future trajectory. In the rush to trace the origins of modern science to an eighteenth century industrial enlightenment and knowledge economy the shop floor and lived experience gets lost. We thus need to know a great deal more about Samuel’s interactions at the everyday practical level before we can truly understand how his approach was forged. Samuel was, primarily, a practical man with a deep interest in the materials used in the production of ships; this is further reflected in the particular manufactures he tried to develop while in Russia. Moreover we need to know much more about Samuel’s encounter and understanding of labour customs and legal regulations in both Russia and Britain to grasp the purpose of the managerial system he created (see, especially, Alessandro Stanziani, ‘The traveling panopticon: labor institutions and labor practices in Russia and Britain in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries’, Comparative Studies in Society and History 51, no. 4 (October 2009)). This book, however, is a very useful contribution to furthering our understanding of both Samuel and contemporary approaches to the military-industrial complex.","PeriodicalId":38023,"journal":{"name":"Journal for Maritime Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76508657","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
