Like other groups with dangerous occupations, mariners have developed a close-knit culture bound by loss and memory. Based on a study of more than 2,100 gravestones and monuments in US and the UK erected between the 17th and late 20th centuries, David Stewart expands the use of nautical archaeology into terrestrial environments. He focuses on those who make their living at sea to examine their distinct folkloric traditions, beliefs, and customs regarding death, loss, and remembrance.
