Maritime history is the study of human activity at sea and covers a broad range of topics related to humankind's relationship with oceans, seas, and waterways. It includes the history of fishing, whaling, maritime law, ships, navigation sciences, trade, and more. There are traditional and utilitarian approaches to studying maritime history, with the traditional focused on academics and the utilitarian aimed at influencing policymakers.

Maritime history is the study of human activity at sea. It
covers a broad thematic element of history that often uses a
global approach, although national and regional histories
remain predominant. As an academic subject, it often
crosses the boundaries of standard disciplines, focusing on
understanding humankind's various relationships to the
oceans, seas, and major waterways of the globe. Nautical
history records and interprets past events involving ships,
shipping, navigation, and seafarers

3. Maritime history is the broad overarching subject that
includes fishing, whaling, international maritime law, naval
history, the history ofships, ship design, shipbuilding, the
history of navigation, the history of the various maritime-
related sciences (oceanography, cartography,hydrography,
etc.), sea exploration, maritime economics and trade,
shipping, yachting, seaside resorts, the history of lighthouses
and aids to navigation, maritime themes in literature,
maritime themes in art, the social history of sailors and
passengers and sea-related communities.

5. There are a number of approaches to the field, sometimes
divided into two broad categories: Traditionalists, who seek
to engage a small audience of other academics, and
Utilitarian, who seek to influence policy makers and a wider
audience.

7. Shipping, whether of cargo or passengers, is a business and
the duties of a ship’s captain reflect that. A captain’s first duty
was to the ship’s owner and often the captain was
encouraged to buy into the business with at least a one
eighth share of the ship. A captain’s second duty was to the
cargo itself followed thirdly by the crew.
