Introduction: Maritime Landscapes as an African Approach to Archaeology -- Chapter 1: When did the Swahili Become Maritime? A Reply to Jeffrey Fleisher et al. (Elgidius Ichumbaki) -- Chapter 2: Port of Badagary, a Point of No Return: Investigation of Maritime Slave Trade in Nigeria (Wale Oyediran) -- Chapter 3: "A Gulf between the Mountains": Whalers, Slavers and Fishers in False Bay, Cape Colony (Lynn Harris) -- Chapter 4: Technology and Empire in Southern Africa: A Comparative Analysis of British and Dutch Maritime Technologies during the Napoleonic Era (Ivor Mollema) -- Chapter 5: Bay of Storms and Tavern of the Seas: The Role of Risk in the Maritime Cultural Landscape of the Cape Town Harbour (Jeremy R. Borrelli) -- Chapter 6: World War I Shipwrecks of the Western Indian Ocean of Tanzania: Neglected Underwater Heritage Resources (Elinaza Mjeme) -- Chapter 7: Thomas T. Tucker: A Beached US Liberty Ship in Cape Point Nature Reserve, South Africa (Nathaniel King) -- Chapter 8: On Desolate Sands: Beached Shipwrecks in the Namibian Coastal Landscape (Jennifer J. Jones) -- Chapter 9: Benefits, Burdens and Opportunities in South Africa: The implications of ratifying the 2001 UNESCO Convention on the Protection of Underwater Cultural Heritage (Jonathan Sharfman, Jaco Boshoff, and Jonathan Gribble) -- Chapter 10: Epilogue (Wale Oyediran and Lynn Harris)

This volume represents a more Africanist approach to the framework of maritime landscapes and challenges of adapting international heritage policy such as the UNESCO convention. While the concept of a maritime landscape is very broad, a more focused thematic strategy draws together a number of case studies in South Africa, Namibia, Tanzania, and Nigeria with a common thread. Specifically, the contributors address the sub-theme of sea ports and sea power as part of understanding the African maritime landscape. Sea ports and surrounds are dynamic centers of maritime culture supporting a rich diversity of cultural groups and economic activities. Strategic locations along the African coastline have associations with indigenous maritime communities and trade centers, colonial power struggles and skirmishes, establishment of naval bases and operations, and World War I and II engagements.
