Book Description

About the Book This book "East Indiamen: The East India Company's Maritime Service" explores the maritime operations of the East India Company, focusing on the East Indiamen ships that facilitated trade between Britain and Asia during the 17th to 19th centuries. The book delves into the history, design, and voyages of these ships, highlighting their crucial role in expanding British colonial and commercial interests. Cotton's work provides insights into the challenges of maritime trade, including navigation, piracy, and the lives of the crew aboard these vessels.

About the Author Sir Evan Cotton (1868-1939) was a British historian, politician, and civil servant known for his contributions to the study of British India's history. He authored works on the East India Company and served as President of the Royal Asiatic Society of Bengal. Cotton's writings provide valuable insights into colonial India's maritime and administrative history.

Preface THIS STUDY of the East India Company's Maritime Service is both timely and important. Timely, because it appears just when the new Indian Union is striving to create a truly Indian naval and maritime power; import-ant, because in analysing the sources of strength of the Company's sea-power in the Indian Ocean it re-emphasises the fundamental truth that naval power is effective and lasting in so far as it rests on maritime strength. During India's long history many powers within her frontiers have created navies; but they did not last, mainly because a self-sufficient India could usually get on without maritime endeavour, and therefore ultimately without naval power. In sharp contrast, the European nations of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, increasingly aware of their need for overseas trade, consciously and persistently sought to control their seaways by sea power. Hence, when the European Companies rounded the Cape of Good Hope, they swept the eastern seas. By 1815 Britain finally emerged supreme in the Indian Ocean because she had also triumphed in European waters, and to this naval victory, the East India Company's maritime contribution was decisive. In our Commonwealth of Nations, which owes its creation and existence to the exercise of sea power, the study of naval and maritime history is strangely neglected. No full scale treatment, for example, of the rise and establishment of British naval supremacy in the Indian Ocean has yet been published. This volume, which fills one of the gaps in that story, is therefore the more to be welcomed.
