Biography
Diane Frost (University of Liverpool)
International Journal of Maritime History- "a significant contribution to out understanding of some of the non-Europeans who were increasingly significant in manning British ships from the mid-nineteenth century."
The Northern Mariner- " The collection makes an interesting beginning to the study of ethnicity and the British merchant mariner"
African Affairs- " this book...should prove highly stimulating, especially through the useful notes at the end of each chapter. When, ultimately, a comprehensive history of ethnic seafarers in British Imperial trade is written, this small book should occupy an hnourable place in its historiography
