Shipping in the London coal trade, 1700-1860
Evidence from more than 40 000 voyages shows that labour productivity growth for sailing ships in the London coal trade was rapid but quite irregular between 1700 and 1860. These granular data permit us to examine various dimensions of change, showing that ships made more voyages per year, had smaller crews, carried more coal per ship ton and had longer working lives. Some changes resulted from what happened on land rather than on the sea, notabl…
After the great inventions
This article analyses the improvement of cotton-spinning technologies in the years after the great inventions of Hargreaves, Arkwright, and Crompton. While these 'macro-inventions' have attracted considerable historical attention, our understanding of the major changes in types and sizes of spinning machines used in the UK between the 1780s and the onset of state-collected factory statistics in the 1830s is still largely based on the experience o…
Tons, Tonneaux, Toneladas, Lasts
La jauge des navires du xviiie siecle etait imprecise et non normalisee. Les comparaisons entre les sources britanniques montrent de grandes variations, certaines d’ordre systematique, d’autres pas. Les comparaisons avec les unites de mesure continentales confirment, en moyenne, les taux de conversion habituels pour les tonneaux, les toneladas et les lasts, mais les conversions implicites dans les cas individuels varient tellement que ces taux n’…
