Notes:
Seventeen papers delivered at a 1985 conference dealing with maritime and trading aspects of Britain's economic connections with the Baltic - Sweden, Finland and Russia - largely in the 18th century but also in the 17th and 19th. More specifically deal with shipping and timber trade. Papers include: Henry Roseveare, 'Vicissitudes of Anglo Swedish shipping, 1660-1680'; J T Lindblad, 'Anglo Dutch competition in Swedish trade, 1738-1780'; W Minchinton & I Jarman, 'Baltic trade with Devon, 1784-1795'; Jorma Ahvenainen, 'Britain as a buyer of Finnish sawn timber', 1760-1860'; Yrjo Kaukiainen, 'British timber imports and Finnish shipping, 1860-1910'; L R Fischer & H W Nordvik, 'Shipping and the Baltic wood trade to Britain, 1863-1908'
