  • Place and Mobilities in the Maritime World: the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company in the Caribbean, C
    1 PLACE AND MOBILITIES IN THE MARITIME WORLD: THE ROYAL MAIL STEAM PACKET COMPANY IN THE CARIBBEAN, C. 1838 TO 1914 Anyaa Anim-Addo Royal Holloway, University of London PhD Human Geography 2 Declaration of Authorship I, Anyaa Anim-Addo, hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Signed: ______________________________________________________ Date: ______________________________________________________ 3 Abstract The empirical subject of this thesis is the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company (RMSPC), a British-based steamship company that served the Caribbean from 1842, and extended operations into South America in 1851. I construct a postcolonial historical geography of the RMSPC as it operated in the ‘expanded’ post-emancipation Caribbean. By analysing the steamship service as a network rather than as a ‘tool’ of empire, I foreground the mobilities constructed by this Company, and explore how these mobilities impacted upon maritime places in the Caribbean. In so doing, I develop a ‘tidalectic’ approach to the RMSPC’s past, by expanding upon Kamau Brathwaite’s concept. I argue that tidalectics, in intersection with the ‘new mobilities paradigm’, contributes to an advance in understandings of maritime history, since together they facilitate mobile examinations of the relationship between sea and shore. To develop analysis of the RMSPC’s maritime mobilities, four substantive case studies are presented. The first case study focuses on the RMSPC’s ports-of-call, as mapped by the scheme of routes. The second such chapter considers the steamship itself as place, particularly with reference to social and cultural dynamics.
