Once a small maritime community, it was transformed into the technical base and shipbuilding centre of the \u003ci\u003eCompagnie des Messageries maritimes\u003c\/i\u003e, France’s largest steam navigation company. This book charts the journey of a maritime society through its industrial growth and discovers its economic, demographic, labour, and social changes. Drawing on unpublished archival material, it explores how technological changes and the dominance of a single private shipping company reshaped the town’s identity and redefined its relationship with the sea.","brand":"Kalliopi Vasilaki","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48268246745339,"sku":"9789004733923","price":147.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/9789004733923.jpg?v=1772491484","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/la-ciotat-in-the-age-of-steam-18361916-9789004733923","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
