The chapter surveys post-First World War Littlehampton, a coastal town where tourism and hospitality had overtaken maritime trade, but where coastal shipping and ship-building remained important industries. The libel case unfolded in the Beach Town district, where Littlehampton’s hotels and apartment houses were concentrated. Many of the tradesmen, small businesswomen, labourers, and domestics who serviced the tourism and hospitality industry lived in the neighbourhood. Working from the evidence George Nicholls gathered, census records, and documents in the Littlehampton Museum, the chapter provides an anatomy of the neighbourhood and then examines the families at the centre of the dispute, their economic and social position, and relationships within the household, which were often marked by violence.

Commentary: ‘Just the tip of the iceberg’: Queensland’s experience of the influenza pandemic of 1918–20

AbstractThis article provides a synopsis of the spread of epidemic influenza throughout Queensland in 1919–20.1 Statewide the story was, to a greater or lesser extent, the same – regardless of occupation or whether one was from the city or the bush, on the coast or in the far west, no one was immune; even being 300 kilometres from the nearest epicentre of the outbreak was no guarantee of safety. An examination of the state’s newspapers, particularly the Brisbane Courier, makes it evident that outbreaks of influenza erupted almost simultaneously throughout the state. Aided and abetted by Queensland’s network of railways and coastal shipping, together with the crowding of people at country shows, race meetings and celebrations of the formal conclusion of World War I, the disease was swiftly diffused throughout the state. This article hopes to give the reader a sense of how the sheer scale and urgency of the crisis at times overwhelmed authorities and communities.

Among the many primary causes which lead to a shipping casualty, those of wrecking, stranding or coming into contact with fixed coastal structures depend (although not exclusively and only under specific conditions of visibility) upon the efficiency of the lighthouse and navigating lights network of a national coastline. The analysis of the shipping casualties involving Greek ships in the Greek seas revealed that, despite the recent introduction of sophisticated navigating aids for the prevention of stranding and contact, the share of the corresponding casualties remains unchanged. It appears that for coastal shipping operations, and in particular for port approaches, the traditional light navigating aids are and will always provide an irreplaceable safety service for navigators. This is mainly attributed to their technological simplicity which offers a high level of signal reliability and friendliness for the navigator.

The Common

This chapter examines a substantial number of British shipping conferences in the nineteenth century in order to determine their ability to regulate competition across the shipping trade. It identifies and analyses the common features of shipping conferences; the presence of conferences outside of Britain - particularly in China; the early shipping conferences, including the Glasgow-Liverpool conference; and the evidence of large-spread conferences across the United Kingdom. It discovers that coastal shipping was as involved in shipping conferences as the rest of the shipping industry, and that collaboration between firms existed even within the heightened competitive atmosphere.

A Minor

This chapter reviews the recent research into British coastal shipping in attempt to establish the economics of the trade. From there it suggests how to scale the research out to a European-wide study. It then defines the British coastal trade and how it differs from other countries - particularly as an island nation’s coastal trade is necessarily internal. It also notes where coastal trade differs from foreign trade and short-sea shipping. It argues that the coaster was crucial in supporting and encouraging industrialisation, and thus worthy of individual study rather than as a minor facet of shipping. It explores the advantages of coasters over other methods of transport, such as rail and horse-drawn haulage. After declaring the strengths of coastal shipping, it concludes by reviewing the gaps in the academic knowledge and suggesting areas for further research - including ownership, profitability, and analysis of commodities.
