| সংক্ষিপ্ত: | This essay illustrates the latest research concerning the main operational structures and developments of Ionian Islands shipping during the nineteenth century, particularly during the period of British sovereignty (1815-1864). Though the Ionian Islands are in the middle of the Mediterranean basin, little was known of their maritime past or their participation in the expansion of the Mediterranean and Atlantic economies in the nineteenth century. Thus much of the global context of Ionian shipping was missing, and it was difficult to study the development and operations of the islands’ merchant fleet. This difficulty was resolved to a great extent with the creation of Odysseus, the Ionian Maritime History Database, which includes 21,000departures and arrivals in the islands in 1809-1864. |
