Anemokarava by Yiannis St. Vlassopoulos

$30.00

Ships, commerce, transport, robberies, piracy, plagues in the Ionian sea and Aitoloakarnian coast.

The book is an in depth study by John St. Vlassopoulos, based on old unpublished documents housed at the Historical Archive of Ithaca in Vathi. The writer has dedicated many years investigating the somewhat illegible 18th century handwritten documents, detailing facts and movements of all shipping, relating to the ports and harbours of Ithaca, in accordance to Venetian law. From these documents, which span from 1700-1775, which had never been studied before, surfaced a completely unknown history, concerning the overall size and traffic of the then Ithacan shipping fleet. In addition, the book includes information relating to not only the commercial activities of the fleet during that era, but also delineates the robberies and piracy activities in that area, and includes the painstaking difficulties created by the plague, which was widespread through Europe.

Commercial activities of the Ithacan shipping fleet, with the Ionian Islands and the Aitoloakarnian mainland ports, which was still ruled by the Ottoman Empire, were at their peak and thriving. The book is enriched with rare plaques, photos, maps, and drawings by Mark Myers, an avid art lover of that era. It depicts anecdotes of piracy agreements unique to the Greek shipping history.
