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.
