Pirates of empire : colonisation and maritime violence in Southeast Asia /Stefan Eklèof Amirell.
"The suppression of piracy and other forms of maritime violence was a keystone in the colonisation of Southeast Asia. Focusing on what was seen in the nineteenth century as the three most pirate-infested areas in the region--the Sulu Sea, the Strait of Malacca and Indochina--this comparative study in colonial history explores how piracy was defined, contested and used to resist or justify colonial expansion, particularly during the most intense phase of imperial expansion in Southeast Asia from c. 1850 to c. 1920. In doing so, it demonstrates that piratical activity continued to occur in many parts of Southeast Asia well beyond the mid-nineteenth century, when most existing studies of piracy in the region end their period of investigation. It also points to the changes over time in how piracy was conceptualised and dealt with by each of the major colonial powers in the region, Britain, France, the Netherlands, Spain and the United States"--

The LD Lines story / George Holland
A subsidiary of the Louis Dreyfus Amateurs (LDA) shipping and logistics group, LD Lines entered the cross-channel ferry market in late 2005 by taking over the former P&O Portsmouth - Le Havre route. During its lifetime, the company established a network of relatively short-lived cross-channel routes. With the commencement of a joint Dover - Calais service with DFDS Seaways under the DFDS brand, the LD Lines name began to disappear. By 2015, faced with competition and reduced freight volumes as a result of the global recession, LDA had withdrawn from the ferry industry with its operations fully integrated into DFDS. Illustrated with photographs of ships and their interiors, a fleet list is included covering routes and vessels operated by LD Lines.

Crisis at sea : the United States Navy in European waters in World War I /William N. Still, Jr. ; foreword by James C. Bradford and Gene A. Smith.
"Crisis at Sea is the first comprehensive history of the United States Navy in European waters during World War I. Drawing on vast American, British, German, French, and Italian sources, the author presents the U.S. Naval experience as America moved into the modern age of naval warfare. Not limited to an operations account of naval battles and strategies, this volume - the second in a series - examines diplomatic policies, cabinet decisions, logistics, the home front, support systems, and shipbuilding to illustrate the complexity and enormity of America's naval participation in World War I." "This is a thorough treatment of not only the events but also the personalities of the war, with particular attention paid to the difficulties they faced. The book reveals insights into the United States' relations in the world, the nation's unpreparedness for such a war, the limits imposed on the Navy by the cabinet, and the unexpected conclusion to the war. Much of the author's exhaustive research is new, such as the use of French official documents and British recollections of the American ships and sailors. This book will be the standard reference volume for libraries and serious scholars with a special interest in World War I and in the history of warfare."--Provided by the publisher.

Between theory and observations : Tobias Mayer's explorations of lunar motion, 1751-1755 /Steven A. Wepster.
This investigation into the lunar theory and tables of the moon's motion of German mathematician and astronomer Tobias Mayer looks at the important application they had in the field of navigation through the determination of longitude at sea using the method of 'lunar distances'. Mayer's lunar theories are compared to those of Euler, Newton and others and his technique of adjusting his lunar tables to fit observational data is also examined. Included are lists of figures and displays and appendices on versions of lunar equations, results of a spreadsheet analysis and manuscript sources.

Creating global shipping : Aristotle Onassis, the Vagliano Brothers, and the business of shipping, c.1820-1970 /Gelina Harlaftis.
''Shipping has been the international business par excellence in many national economies, one that preceded trends in other, more highly visible sectors of international economic activity. Nevertheless, in both business or economic history, shipping has remained relatively overlooked. That gap is filled by this exploration of the evolution of European shipping through the study of two Greek shipping firms. They provide a prime example of the regional European maritime businesses that evolved to serve Europe's international trade and, eventually, the global economy. By the end of the twentieth century, Greeks owned more ships than any other nationality. The story of the Vagliano brothers traces the transformation of Greek shipping from local shipping and trading to international shipping and ship management, while the case of Aristotle Onassis reveals how international shipping was transformed into a global business.''--Provided by the publisher.
