A social history of 18th century Bermuda, it profiles how one intensively maritime community capitalised on its position 'in the eye of all trade'. The book takes readers aboard small Bermudian sloops and follows white and enslaved sailors as they shuttled cargoes between ports, raked salt, harvested timber, salvaged shipwrecks, hunted whales, captured prizes, and smuggled contraband in an expansive maritime sphere spanning Great Britain's North American and Caribbean colonies.Published for the Omohundro Institute of Early American History and Culture, Williamsburg, VirginiaSailorsBermuda IslandsHistory18th centurySlavesBermuda IslandsHistory18th centurySeafaring lifeBermuda IslandsHistory18th centuryShippingBermuda IslandsHistory18th centuryBermuda IslandsHistory, Naval18th centuryBermuda IslandsSocial conditions18th centuryBermuda IslandsCommerceHistory18th centuryBermuda IslandsEconomic conditions18th centuryUnited StatesHistoryRevolution, 1775-1783InfluenceUnited StatesHistoryRevolution, 1775-1783Economic aspectsBermuda IslandsElectronic books.SailorsHistorySlavesHistorySeafaring lifeHistoryShippingHistory972.99Jarvis Michael(Michael J.),1035201Omohundro Institute of Early American History & Culture.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910465209903321In the eye of all trade2454763UNINA
