First published in 2002, Heritage of Indian Sea Navigation explores the rich maritime traditions of Indian seamen, offering valuable insights for navigators, historians, and heritage enthusiasts. Based on quarter of a century of research, the book traces centuries-old practices of sailing vessel navigation in the northern and central Indian Ocean, drawing from oral testimonies and rare handwritten manuscripts in regional dialects. Presented in accessible language, the book is divided into two parts: a thematic analysis of Indian seamen’s navigational wisdom and an appendix featuring English translations of excerpts in Kutchi, Malayalam, and Tamil scripts. This essential reference work is ideal for scholars of Indian maritime history, history of Indian navigation, historical geography, geography and South Asian studies.
