Artists have always been fascinated by and drawn to the sea and this book considers some of the themes and approaches in art that have evolved as a result of this captivation. The chapters consider how an examination of art can provide new insights into existing knowledge of port and maritime history, and are representative of a ‘cultural turn’ in port and maritime studies, which is becoming increasingly visible. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eArt and the Sea\u003c\/i\u003e, multiple perspectives are offered as a result of the contributors’ individual positions and methodologies: some museological, others art historical or maritime-historical. Each chapter proposes a new way of building upon available interpretations of port and maritime history: whether this be to reject, support or reconsider existing knowledge. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book as a whole is a timely addition, therefore, to the developing body of revisionist texts in port and maritime history. The interdisciplinary nature of the volume relates to a current trend for interdisciplinarity in art history and will appeal to those with an interest in art history, geography, sociology, history and transport \/ maritime studies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'In a time when, in the editor's words, \"[there is an] increasing tendency for specialisation in all areas of scholarship\", this book ably demonstrates how bringing different disciplines together informs the discussion and provides new insights.' \u003cbr\u003e Graham Gladden, \u003cem\u003eJournal of Transport History\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgements \u003cbr\u003eNotes on Contributors \u003cbr\u003eList of Images \u003cbr\u003eIntroduction: Emma Roberts \u003cbr\u003eChapter 1: Paintings of Ports and Ships at Canton of the Qing Dynasty China during the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Centuries.
