- Title
Destination unknown: The geography of Baltic shipping and the registration system of the Sound Toll Registers in the eighteenth century.
- Authors
Demchenko, Pavel
- Abstract
This research note explores the specifics of the Sound Toll Registers as a historical source. It accounts for the shipmasters who sailed into the Baltic but are largely absent from the Sound Toll Registers because they were not attributed to a port. A method of detecting these shipmasters is proposed, together with an explanation as to why this administrative practice developed.
