| Abstract: |
This thesis reconstructs the ships and boats, their use, and the development of the port of London from the first to the thirteenth centuries AD. It is concluded that London was the meeting point of several shipbuilding traditions, that Mediterranean Roman merchant ships rarely sailed around Spain to the north, that tides mainly determined how the port functioned, and that there was a development of berthing methods from beaching to quays and docks. Appendices listing headings for studying ship fragments, giving stability calculations, describing nautical terminology, and giving a bibliography end this study. |
