Yesterday I presented my research on the Bremen ship Concordia at the German Historical Institute London. Thanks for a full house & a lively discussion! Special thanks to Clemens Villinger for the warm welcome and for chairing the session. I took the opportunity to visit the new Roman "Legion" exhibition at the British Museum.
Interested in early modern merchants, 18th century letters, the materiality of a business archive, Atlantic trade, France, Hamburg, maritime neutrality, the Prize Papers or microhistory? My book was republished last month by @transcriptweb in Open Access. #history#histodons@histodons#maritimehistory#merchants#letters@historikerinnen
A Chinese ship type has been claimed to be among "traditional ships of the past Malay maritime civilisation", using the model of a "Foochow pole junk" in the National #MaritimeMuseum at Greenwich UK & misrepresenting it to be in Jakarta. Serge Jardin & James Chin have called out the academics, their university, & the publisher.
