  In medieval Europe, water transport was paramount, on inland waterways, along the coast and overseas. In the period covered here (1000-1500) many important ports were developed, shipbuilding designs and techniques changed - as didi navigation - and international traffic flourished. All these changes are described and placed in their social and economic context in this comprehensive synthesis.
