Atlantic voyages : the East India Company and the British route to the East in the age of sail

John McAleer

"A history of the East India Company told through experiences of everyday life on the ocean: maritime travel, shipboard conditions, foreign encounters, islands and ports of call, the waters of the Atlantic itself. McAleer portrays these as essential to the understanding of the Company as an agent of globalisation in the early modern world."
