HISTORIC SCOTLAND MARITIME SCOTLAND by Brian Lavery
Maritime history has played a large part in shaping Scotland. Scots have always been close to the sea, it forms most of their boundaries, and provides food, livelihoods and transport. Two maritime themes, the oil industry and nuclear submarine bases, are still at the forefront of Scottish politics.Brian Lavery is a British naval historian and Curator Emeritus at the National Maritime Museum, Greenwich, and is probably the world's leading authority on the ship of the line. He is the author of DK's Ship, as well as Empire of the Seas: How the Navy Forged the Modern World and the highly successful two-volume history of sailing battleships, The Ship of the Line. Lavery was a historical consultant on Peter Weir's 2003 blockbuster Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World. He has also consulted on the replica constructions of Captain Cook's Endeavour and the emigrant ship Susan Constant.
