Maritime History of Somerset

SWMHS member Adrian Webb is putting together a volume containing papers

relating to the Maritime History of Somerset, and has had a firm indication

from a publisher who is interested in this area.

He is now actively seeking contributors for this book. Each contributor

will get a copy of the book (c. £25) plus the offer of buying copies at a

third off, and to purchase any other publication the publishers have/will

produce at a third off.

Subjects to be considered include shipping, fisheries, trade, ports,

harbours, surveying, navigation, environment, privateering, smuggling,

shiphandling, shipbuilding, steamships, emigration, seaside resorts,

welfare, Royal Navy men and their families.
