Based on a study of gravestones and monuments in North America and the UK erected between the 17th and 20th centuries, David Stewart expands the use of nautical archaeology into terrestrial environments. He focuses on those who make their living at sea to examine their folkloric traditions, beliefs, and customs regarding death and remembrance.
