The theme of ports and shipping provides many overlapping and complementary interests for maritime and industrial archaeologists. This chapter aims to present the areas of shared theoretical interest and to introduce sites and features of particular relevance to industrial archaeological research. It examines terrestrial infrastructure, ships, and shipwrecks as industrial archaeological sites within a global context, primarily focused on the 17th to 20th centuries. The theme is explored under topic headings which cover ships as individual industrial sites, landing sites lacking infrastructure, small-scale coastal infrastructure, enclosed harbours, docks, naval dockyards and graving docks. Having dealt with major port infrastructure the chapter examines port related industries and the influence of ports on urban development. Ports and shipping are established as suitable topics for study by industrial archaeologists bringing greater understanding of ports as centres and distributors of technological innovation. An industrial archaeological approach also enables a better understanding of ports and shipping as components in networks facilitating not only trade but the globalization of technologies, and the exchange of social and economic ideas and practices.
