| 研究実績の概要 |
The scheduled archival research in Great Britain has been carried out as planned between 27 August and 14 September 2024 at the National Archives, London (Kew): consultation of crew lists of selected British steamships, 1870s to 1930s; National Maritime Archives, Greenwich: consultation of crew lists from the late 19th century of specified British steamships: consultation of books on selected British shipping firms; and the University of Glasgow Archives: consultation of archival documents from a range of shipping firms.
The newly collected material allowed to trace the geographical scope of the labour market for seamen from East Africa. The ensuing research findings substantiated the hypothesis that seamen from East Africa became associated with steamship operations in regions across the globe well beyond the Indian Ocean. Elements of an explanation for this transformation towards a globalizing labour market could be formulated. Preliminary research results have been presented at the 9th International Maritime History Congress, Busan, South Korea, on 21 August 2024.
