How Derek Morris and Kenneth Cozens are rewriting the maritime history of East London North of the Thames
In three books published to date, two London-based researchers, Derek Morris and Kenneth Cozens, have set about the task of challenging many deeply-held stereotypes of London's eastern parishes in the eighteenth century. With meticulous attention to detail, and with sure control of a wide range of archives, they have produced three highly-recommended works

The War Against the Pirates
This book naval historian investigates the secret Anglo-American coercive war against Spain from 1815 to 1835.
Prologue
For a decade before the renewal of the Napoleonic Wars, in 1803, Spain was an ally of France, and during this unique time the American colonies of Spain—Spanish America—had been isolated from the homeland by the British Royal Navy. The shadow of France, and of Napoleon, lay threateningly over the affairs of Spanish America. The liberal ideas of France and the military and naval triumphs of Britain in the Napoleonic Wars contributed to the break-u…
Common Cause
At the outset of the period examined in this book, relations between Great Britain and the United States were distant and frosty. Wounds were not easily healed on the high seas. Much anguish continued in the wake of the War of 1812. A long shadow was cast across the Canadian boundaries, while on the oceans rights of search and neutrality were zealously guarded or defended. The British, in particular, adhered to trade as the key to prosperity, and…
Charles Duncan, Cape Flattery, and the Strait of Juan de Fuca
In 1788 Charles Duncan confirmed the existence of the Strait of Juan de Fuca and news of this knowledge was published in 1790. It included the chart of the strait and the extensive description based on Native oral testimony. This was the first time that Europeans knew the particulars of this specific part of the world. Commercial ventures rather than official expeditions had revealed these secrets. This article explores Duncan’s contribution as w…

Pax Britannica
Anchors of Empire
Naval power resides not only in ships and men, and on finance and national will; it rests on secure and adequate refuges and positions for repair, recuperation and resupply. In the age of Pax , when Britain took it upon itself to carry out policies of enforcement of the abolition of privateering, the suppression of the slave trade and the protection of seaborne commerce, strategically located naval bases were the direct result of the global natur…
The Lion and the Eagle
In 1898, the very year difficulties were building with the Boer Republics concerning paramountcy in southern Africa, a new ally in the guise of a neutral power presented itself to Britain and its sagging fortunes. The United States, victorious in war over Spain, suddenly appeared as a global power; at the same time, it removed from the board an older, decrepit one. This turn of fortune favoured the British, particularly the Admiralty, and althoug…
Treaty-Making and Dhow-Chasing in the Indian Ocean
In addition to protecting the rights of British and European citizens, the policing of piracy was a specifically designated duty of the Navy during Pax . Anti-piracy duties, to repeat, were closely intertwined with measures to eradicate slavery and the slave trade. This largely thankless task took the Navy to all seas, for the anti-piracy war was conducted against the likes of Barbary pirates, offending coastal tribes of British Columbia and Braz…
Empire of the Seas
In the era of Pax Britannica the Royal Navy won most of its battles while riding at anchor, in showing the flag on distant seas, and in undertaking a myriad of gunboat actions or of landing parties on faraway coasts. In the long history of British statecraft, it had been a tacitly accepted rule that the operation of British sea power was to be felt in the enemy’s rather than in British waters. “The hostile coast was regarded strategically as the …
Anti-Slavery
Pax brought the gift of peace in places that were accustomed to war but it itself called for the use of force. Africa, a continent of many societies and peoples, posed special problems in certain locales, for it was a place of warlords, and slaves were property captured in war. Whole kingdoms arose from the human pillage. Traffic in slaves by slave-hunters “fermented tribal warfare, destroyed native African culture and agriculture, dispersed peac…
Send a Gunboat!
As the nineteenth century progressed, the Industrial Revolution changed British naval power and made it more effective in inshore and riverine waters. Sail gave way to steam, and the “wooden walls” yielded to iron and steel ships. By the 1840s, paddlewheel gunboats mounting six 32-pounders were serving on distant stations. They proved effective, within their limits of speed and seaworthiness, in those locations where checking piracy, controlling …
