Chapter 6 in The World’s Key Industry, 2012, pp 88-105 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The development of maritime history as a specialized field of research is an impressive testament to the founders of the International Maritime Economic History Association.1 Skip Fischer’s own publications, together with his relentless efforts as editor of the International Journal of Maritime History, have contributed significantly to placing seaborne transport at the centre of the international economic history of the nineteenth century. As a result of the collective efforts made in the field since the 1970s, most economists, economic historians and general historians now recognize the pivotal role played by the maritime sector in fostering a truly global economy before World War One (WWI).
