This workshop will take place in Greifswald (25–27 September) and is being organised by Dr John Freeman und Prof. Dr Sünne Juterczenka in collaboration with IFZO.
The workshop aims to explore the comparisons and the connections that can be made between these two maritime spaces, one a vast ocean and the other a relatively enclosed sea during the long early modern period from the age of European oceanic discovery to the abolition of the Danish Sound Toll. The aim is to identify themes, problems and concepts that can be used for future discussion and research in order to bring together the historiographical fields of the Baltic and the Atlantic and to open up possible new perspectives for maritime history.
