Despite the port’s prominence in maritime history, its cultural significance has long been neglected in favour of its role within economic and imperial networks. Defined by their intersection of maritime and urban space, port towns were sites of complex cultural exchanges. This book, the product of international scholarship, offers innovative and challenging perspectives on the cultural histories of ports, ranging from eighteenth-century Africa to twentieth-century Australasia and Europe. The essays in this important collection explore two key themes; the nature and character of ‘sailortown’ culture and port-town life, and the representations of port towns that were forged both within and beyond urban-maritime communities. The book’s exploration of port town identities and cultures, and its use of a rich array of methodological approaches and cultural artefacts, will make it of great interest to both urban and maritime historians. It also represents a major contribution to the emerging, interdisciplinary field of coastal studies.

Portsmouth, with the great and historic Naval Dockyard at its heart, was a prominent target for Luftwaffe bombs in the Second World War. Great swathes of the city were laid waste, the destruction so complete that when reconstruction did occur eventually, some parts of Portsmouth were completely unrecognisable compared to what had gone before. Although the need for national security meant that little was publicised at the time, after the war images published by the Portsmouth Evening News recorded the devastation wrought by the blitz, whilst the subsequent clearance of damaged sites was also captured in photographs. Using contemporary images ¿ many sourced from the Portsmouth Evening News ¿ well-known local historian Robert Hind has compared each view with the current scene, laying the pictures side by side to show not only what has been lost forever, but in some cases what has, remarkably, stayed the same. War-torn Portsmouth ¿ Then, After and Now celebrates how this great city has risen phoenix-like from the ravages of war.
