Abstract:		 Eleven papers on the maritime trade of Chester from the Iron Age to the end of the nineteenth century. The `Foreword' is by Peter Carrington (iii-iv). Previous research on the port of Chester is collated by Simon Harrison (1--3) in `The state of port studies: a review', followed by `The course of the River Dee' in which Simon Ward (4--11) discusses the course of the River Dee from Chester to the estuary from the early Roman to post-medieval periods, as well as silting and changes in sea level. Keith Matthews (12--23) considers Iron Age trade or exchange in relation to Meols on the Wirral peninsula, including distribution of coins and the salt trade, in `Iron Age sea-borne trade in Liverpool Bay'. A general discussion of Roman shipping, trade and cargoes is given by David Gibbins (24--39) in `Roman shipping and trade: a view from the Mediterranean', to show the potential of research at Chester and the surrounding region. Likewise, evidence for Chester's Anglo-Saxon waterfront has yet to be found, but sites elsewhere in England are discussed by Richard Hall (40--8) in `Ports of the east and south coasts in the Anglo-Saxon era: an overview'. The Anglo-Saxon period and its trade in Chester and its region are discussed by David Griffiths (49--60) in `The maritime economy of the Chester region in the Anglo-Saxon period', while Jane Laughton (66--71) focuses on `The port of Chester in the later Middle Ages'.Donald Woodward (61--5) describes `The port of Chester in context 1500--1800': Chester later became the most important west-coast port north of Bristol, especially for trade in Irish livestock, but it became eclipsed by Liverpool and also suffered from silting in the River Dee. Parkgate (between Chester and the sea) came into prominence in the eighteenth century for trade and for passengers to and from Dublin, discussed by Geoffrey Place (72--4) in `Parkgate and Ireland'. The decline of Chester as a port is charted by John Herson (75--89) in `Canals, railways and the demise of the port of Chester'. `What's in a picture? Pictorial evidence for ships and harbours' by Michael Stammers (90--4) explores visual evidence for the ships and the port of Chester. LRA
