The ocean shapes our history. From the birth of humanity, oceans have separated and connected cultures. They have entranced and terrified generations. And they have shaped history in critical ways. Maritime trade. Naval warfare. Ocean exploration. Across the centuries, the ocean became a site for scientific advances and a highway for globalization. The Ocean Blue explores the way seas influence human history, from the ancient world to today.

Story
The greatest controversy in the history of the US Navy of the early American Republic was the revelation that the son of the Secretary of War had seemingly plotted a bloody mutiny that would have turned the US brig Somers into a pirate ship. The plot discovered, he and his coconspirators were hastily condemned and hanged at sea.

Story
Loin des légendes et des fantasmes, la première véritable histoire de la piraterie. Barbe-Noire est sans doute le plus illustre, Anne Bonny la plus féminine et Jack Sparrow le plus attirant (et surtout le moins réel !), mais que sait-on véritablement des pirates, corsaires et flibustiers ? S'il est certain que les pilleurs des mers ont régné sur les Caraïbes au XVIIIe siècle, on ne peut toutefois pas résumer leur histoire à ce truisme.

Story
The fearsome wrath of the storms that brew over the Great Lakes has challenged and defeated some of the staunchest vessels constructed in the shipyards of port cities along the US and Canadian lakeshores. Here Richard Gebhart tells the tales of some of these ships and their captains and crews, from their launches to their sad demises—or sometimes, their celebrated retirements. This volume is a must-hear for anyone intrigued by the maritime history of the Great Lakes.

Story
When Campbell & Clark, Scottish merchants based in India, dispatched an Indian ship hurriedly renamed the Sydney Cove to the colony of NSW in 1797, they were hoping to make their fortune. The ship's 'speculative' cargo included all kinds of products to entice the new colony's inhabitants, including 7,000 gallons of rum intended to be sold to the Rum Corp. But when the ship went down north of Van Diemen's Land, cargo master William Campbell and 16 other crew members decided to walk the 600 miles to Sydney Town to get help and rescue crew and cargo.

Soon after the first maritime trade routes became operational, seafaring bandits appeared to prey upon the cargo, crews, and ships of others. Crimson Waters traces the history of piracy around the globe, stretching back from its roots in 2500 BCE, through the Golden Age of Piracy in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, and up to the modern-day pirates who still threaten boats along coastlines and on the open seas.

Jacques Cartier prépare minutieusement son premier voyage. Comme il est soutenu par le roi de France, il parvient à lever son équipage. Le 20 avril 1534, il assiste à la messe et au sortir de l’église, toute la ville l’accompagne sur les quais. La foule en liesse veut assister au départ de ce grand personnage auquel rien ne résiste. Il appareille avec deux navires ornés du drapeau fleurdelisé, symbole de la royauté. C’est le départ pour la grande aventure. En moins de trois semaines d’une traversée assez tranquille, Jacques Cartier passe au large de Terre-Neuve.

On Wide Seas: The US Navy in the Jacksonian Era details the ways in which the US Navy transformed from an antiquated arm of the nation’s military infrastructure into a more dynamic and effective force that was soon to play a pivotal role in a number of national and international conflicts. Jackson developed a clear, concise naval strategy that policymakers and officers alike could seize and execute. They carried out a collective vision that coincided with the national literary movement that recognized America’s future would rely upon the Navy.

Just past midnight, on February 3, just hours from their destination, the Dorchester was torpedoed and sank, throwing its passengers into the frigid waters and creating the worst single loss of an American personnel convoy during WWII. Many of the survivors credit the four chaplains with saving their lives. Those chaplains would become known as the “Immortal Chaplains” for their heroism in making the ultimate sacrifice.

Story
The SS Portland was a solid and luxurious ship, and its loss in 1898 in a violent storm with some 200 people aboard was later remembered as “New England’s Titanic.” The Portland was one of New England's largest and most luxurious paddle steamers, and after nine years' solid performance, she had earned a reputation as a safe and dependable vessel. In November 1898, a perfect storm formed off the New England coast. Conditions would produce a blizzard with 100 miles per hour winds and 60-foot waves that pummeled the coast.

Story
Es gilt als unberechenbar und zugleich als Sehnsuchtsort: das Meer. Die unendliche Weite, die Schönheit, aber auch die Gefahren, die die Hohe See birgt, faszinieren Abenteurer und Autoren seit Jahrhunderten. Doch zusehends gefährden Überfischung und Umweltverschmutzung das Meer als Lebensraum und als Ressource für den Menschen. Der mit dem Pulitzer-Preis ausgezeichnete amerikanische Journalist Ian Urbina spürt einerseits dieser Faszination nach und deckt andererseits Missstände auf, wie moderne Sklaverei auf Fischerbooten oder das Aussetzen blinder Passagiere auf hoher See.

In one of the most comprehensive books ever written on the maritime history of the lakes, Mark Thompson presents a vignette of each of the dozens of ships that have held the title, chronicling the dates the ship sailed, its dimensions, the derivation of its name, its role in the economic development of the region, and its sailing history.

Story
Die Piraterie ist fast so alt wie die Seefahrt selbst. Schon der griechische Historiker Thukydides berichtete im 5. Jahrhundert v. Chr. von Völkern, die sich ihren Lebensunterhalt mit dem Überfall auf fremde Schiffe "verdienten". Geblieben ist seitdem die Verklärung. Gern werden Seeräuber in Büchern und Filmen als Helden à la Robin Hood dargestellt oder als aufrechte Streiter gegen Knechtung und Entrechtung idealisiert.

On July 4, 1861, the schooner S. J. Waring set sail from New York on a routine voyage to South America. Seventeen days later it limped back into New York's harbor with the ship's black cook and steward at the helm. While the story of that ill-fated voyage is one of the most harrowing tales of captivity and survival on the high seas, it has been tragically lost to history. Now reclaiming William Tillman as the American hero he deserves to be, historian Brian McGinty takes listeners on a courageous journey.

Story
Piraten zeigt uns einige der schillerndsten Figuren, die diese Berufssparte hervorgebracht hat. Über Jahrhunderte ließen sich ehrgeizige Regenten durch Männer wie Henry Morgan oder Francis Drake ihre Kassen füllen. Mutige und unerschrockene Männer auf beiden Seiten ließen ihr Leben im Kampf um Gold und teure Handelsgüter. Sie begründeten den Mythos von Freiheit und Abenteuer auf See. Grandiose Leinwandauftritte von Schauspielern wie Johnny Depp oder Errol Flynn nähren unser Bild vom lebenslustigen Piraten. Trinkfest, rauhbeinig und bei Damen äußerst charmant. Doch war die große Ära des Piratentums wirklich so romantisch?
