| Abstract: | MARITIME HISTORY IS ABOUT THE INTERACTION between people and the sea. The direct physical contact with the sea of those involved in seafaring, fishing, merchant shipping, the navy1 and so on, lies at the heart of this interaction, but there are many other aspects which touch an even wider public, especially in the Mediterranean. This has been particularly the case as regards the contemporary era, the chronological period which, grosso modo, is covered by this essay. |
