Independent scholar Graham presents a maritime history of Scotland during a formative period marked by press gangs, privateering, and warfare at sea. Illustrated throughout with b&w woodcuts and maps, the volume aims to demonstrate how state intervention and warfare in the pursuit of mercantilist goals largely determined the development of the Scottish marine and its institutions during the period 1650-1790. Distributed in the U.S. by Hushion House of Toronto. Annotation (c) Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
