Abstract
- This article assesses the historiography of navigation and shipbuilding technology in India. Though the paucity of Indian primary sources has deterred historians from compiling large-scale works on these themes, they have been elucidated in a number of valuable publications. Moreover, the voluminous data recorded by the British in particular, and Europeans in general, during seventeenth and eighteenth centuries provides further relevant information on these themes.
