Somali pirates take to the high seas: expediency or long-term pirate strategy?Fauche, H 04 December 2009 (has links)
Abstract
In 2008 the highest number of attacks recorded against ships in the world was
reported to have taken place off the coast of Africa. These attacks were carried out at
greater distances from land, along the east coast of Africa, than ever before. In this
article the extent of piracy and armed robbery against ships in the African context
and underlying causes of piracy and armed robbery against ships off the coast of
East Africa will be presented. The objective is to analyse incidents and the land and
sea based causes in East Africa to account for the shift in strategy from attacking
ships in territorial waters to attacking ships on the high seas. A secondary aim is to
determine, in view of the shifting background to the attacks, the responsibilities of
navies and other role players in the process of countering such attacks. The article
suggests that states need to review national legislation related to maritime security
and that all state role players in the maritime domain need to cooperate more
efficiently.

Men of War: The Seamen of HMS Mars and the Revolutionary EraHansen, Harold 22 April 2008 (has links)
The late eighteenth century witnessed dramatic changes in the social, economic, and political fabric of the Atlantic World. The Sailors of the HMS Mars fully participated in this transition to modernity. Over the course of their naval careers, the men laboring on the Mars felt the pull of four distinct, but interlocking cultures. Working class, maritime, naval, and British culture all played a part in the sailors’ identity construction. As a result of these myriad influences the sailors could have chosen to join the emerging trans-national maritime working class, but instead the Mars’ seamen fought to gain full British citizenship and acceptance. From 1794 when she first entered commission, to 1798 when she returned victorious from battling the French l’Hercule, provides numerous examples of the sailors’ identity construction process. Moreover, an examination of the seamen’s whole journey also illuminates how the larger processes of the Revolutionary Era functioned.

Image and imagination : perspectives on Athenian naval influence in the fifth century BCTurner, Gordon R. B, n/a January 2007 (has links)
This thesis examines the Athenian navy in the fifth century BC from the standpoint of its image, in terms of perception and reputation, in comparison and contrast to its fact, in terms of actuality and truth. It investigates features of cultural history based around and arising from the contemporary state of mind about Athens� naval ships and sailors, from the points of view of Athenians and outsiders. Its hypothesis is that the supremacy of Athens� navy and the integrity of Athens� naval society in the fifth century were partly products of the Athenian imagination, and in turn gave rise to a reputation for Athens� navy and sailors that itself helped to fulfil Athens� naval and related tasks. Methodologically, the arguments of the thesis are developed 'from the inside out', as they are derived essentially from the primary sources, and then engage with secondary sources where appropriate. The approach is holistic, with source material derived principally from history, literature, art, architecture, and on-site analysis, with extensive illustrations. The thesis is expansive. It begins by examining the perception of Athens� naval supremacy and invincibility by Athenians and outsiders, and the impact that this had upon Athens� ability to achieve her naval and related objectives. It then looks inwardly upon Athens herself, in order to assess Athens� own social attitude towards her naval oarsmen and their base and home at the Piraeus. In this respect, the thesis investigates the development of artistic and literary depictions of the oarsmen of Athenian ships from the eighth to the fifth centuries, and the conclusions to be drawn from their visibility or its lack. It then considers the relationship between Athens and the Piraeus, beginning with the foundations of the image of unity before contrasting that image with the reality of naval division, in terms of Ionianism, autochthony, administration, politics, cult, and the deceit of Athenicity. The thesis then casts its net from the Piraeus across the Aegean Sea, by assessing the roles of Samos and Delos in the perception of naval Athens. Lastly, the thesis examines a topic that combines those of Athens� navy, the Piraeus, and overseas involvement. This topic is the importance of the reputations of Athens� navy and of the Piraeus in overseas trade with Athens� allies and particularly non-allies; and, including social and legal considerations, for influential Athenian citizens who wished to protect their investments in maritime loans for the transit of essential goods to Athens. The thesis concludes that the influence of the Athenian navy was indeed a product of image as much as of fact.
