HIST 4300 - American Maritime History
This course will examine America’s historic relationship with marine and freshwater environments. It will consider the economic, cultural, political, and naval uses of these bodies of water by Americans from 1700 to the present. Viewing maritime history as the documentation and interpretation of water-situated movement (people, commodities), networks (intercultural contact, economic/political linkage), culture (maritime communities), and resource use (fisheries, leisure activities), this course will assess these factors within three frameworks: 1) the American mariner’s world; 2) the American maritime community along shore; 3) American society at-large.
