Church Ships and Floating Chapels: Missions to Seamen in the Age of Sail
Lambeth Palace Library
The Church of England's relationship to maritime life in the 19th century is mostly forgotten, but it shaped how sailors worked and lived. As merchant shipping expanded, the Church built missions to reach mariners, intertwining faith with labour at sea. Two experts walk through what these missions actually did and why it mattered, drawing from the archives.
Lambeth Palace Library, where the records live, is the venue. The conversation sits in the same space as the sources.
Worth your time if maritime history or institutional social history interests you. Specific, grounded in research, no hype.
