One of two extraordinary gowns to have retrieved from the Palmhoutwrak shipwreck off the Dutch coast:

I've just been reading about the incredible oxygen-free showcases developed for this gown and other finds from the Palmhoutwrak, by Belgian technology firm Mayvaert. Pretty clever stuff!

This video talks a bit about the practice of press-ganging. Basically, kidnapping men to be slaves on boats. It's still done in Asia on fish processing ships. Don't think for a second businesses wouldn't use us all as slaves if they could get away with it. #anticorporate #business #capitalism #history #maritimehistory

My office is strewn with old ephemera from port cities and marine #transshipment facilities. My 4 year old loves to come in and read “the boat books” and has shown some great curiosity. But I was surprised when, apropos of nothing, he correctly identified the content of the sacks conveyed by these Brazilian stevedores. #maritimemodernism #maritimehistory #intosteam

My awesome colleague Rachel Cole, the transportation librarian at Northwestern, has an epic, years-long twitter thread of well-designed transpo trade mag covers and other visual ephemera. Yesterday’s was a winner #containershipping #maritime #maritimehistory

"A tall fellow over six feet high, the nephew of his captain, and a lord to boot, were not very promising recommendations."

Thomas Cochrane's recollection of the first impression he made on Jack Larmour, first lieutenant of HMS HIND.

Evergreen Marine’s #shipname conventions never disappoint. After the EVER GIVEN Suez incident made the G-class notorious, the F-class EVER FORWARD was grounded for several weeks in the Chesapeake when the pilot got distracted by his smartphone. A few months later, #Evergreen quietly launched the largest container ship in the world, the A-class EVER ALOT, all 24k TEUs plying between Northern Europe and East Asia. http://www.hafen-hamburg.de/en/special/ever-alot/

Always love to catch some #precisionism in the wild, especially if it pertains to the vast industrial system of inland ports. Here’s Edmund Lewandowski’s Wisconsin Ore Freighter (1948) which hangs amidst the midcentury furniture at the Milwaukee Museum of Art. #maritimemodernism #maritimehistory #greatlakes

Today in #maritimemodernism, two German prints at the Milwaukee Museum of Art. #MaxPechstein, Head of a Sailor (woodcut, 1922), and #SellaHasse, Grain Carriers (linocut, 1916), from the Rhythms of Work series.
