Canada and the United States

Daniel Vickers. Young Men and the Sea: Yankee Seafarers in the Age of Sail. Assisted by Vince Walsh. New Haven: Yale University Press. 2005. Pp. xiii, 336. $35.00.

From the great chronicles of seafaring by Herman Melville and Richard Henry Dana in the mid-nineteenth century to the scholarly studies by Samuel Eliot Morison and Bernard Bailyn a century later, the maritime history of New England has been richly served. Yet, in recent decades, some of the most innovative work on the maritime world of the northwest Atlantic has come not from American scholars but from Canadians associated with the Atlantic Canada Shipping Project at Memorial University in St. John's, Newfoundland. In particular, Eric W. Sager's Seafaring Labour: The Merchant Marine of Atlantic Canada, 1820–1914 (1989) and Maritime Capital: The Shipping Industry in Atlantic Canada, 1820–1914 (1990) set new standards for employing prodigious amounts of quantitative and qualitative data to recover the social and economic history of Atlantic Canada's shipping industry. Daniel Vickers brings knowledge of this Canadian scholarship as well as insight into Newfoundland's contemporary maritime society to bear in his superb study of Salem's maritime past.
