Surgery at Sea: an Analysis of Shipboard Medical Practitioners and Their Instrumentation
Surgery at Sea: An Analysis of Shipboard Medical Practitioners and Their Instrumentation By Robin P. Croskery Howard April, 2016 Director of Thesis: Dr. Lynn Harris Major Department: Maritime Studies, History Abstract: Shipboard life has long been of interest to maritime history and archaeology researchers. Historical research into maritime medical practices, however, rarely uses archaeological data to support its claims. The primary objective of this thesis is to incorporate data sets from the medical assemblages of two shipwreck sites and one museum along with historical data into a comparative analysis. Using the methods of material culture theory and pattern recognition, this thesis will explore changes in western maritime medical practices as compared to land-based practices over time.

And this year was no exception. Different divisions of the Australasian Hydrographic Society organised events as befitted the occasion. In Perth the WA Region had a guided tour of the Journeys of Enlightenment exhibition at the Maritime Museum, followed by a lecture on the “Mapping the Coast” database. In New Zealand a seminar and dinner were held. Similarly, the Eastern Australian Region conducted a seminar at the Royal Automobile Club in Sydney, which was followed by a dinner. Rupert Gerritsen accepts the Literary Achievement Award on behalf of Associate Professor Bill Richardson. I, as Chair of the Australia on the Map Division, attended the Sydney event. The Royal Automobile Club is a grand old building, well suited to the occasion. The theme of the day-long seminar was “Taking Stock of the Industry”.
