Photo courtesy of the Library of Congress.\nLincoln Paine is a maritime historian\, author\, editor\, and curator whose books include the award-winning The Sea and Civilization: A Maritime History of the World (Knopf\, 2013)\, Down East: A Maritime History of Maine (Tilbury House\, 2000)\, and Ships of the World: An Historical Encyclopedia (Houghton Mifflin\, 1997). Paine is President\, North American Society for Oceanic History (NASOH) and Visiting Scholar\, Center for Oceans and Coastal Law\, University of Maine School of Law. \nThe Sea and Civilization won the Maine Literary Award for Nonfiction and a Mountbatten Maritime Award from the Maritime Foundation (UK)\, and made “best of” lists in Choice\, Booklist\, and The Telegraph (UK). The New York Public Library and Library Journal recognized Ships of the World as an outstanding reference source. \nPaine’s articles and reviews have been published in a wide variety of journals and magazines including The Daily Beast\, Foreign Affairs (online)\, France Forum\, Global Geneva\, International Journal of Maritime History\, Nautical Research Journal\, Naval History\, The Northern Mariner/Le Marin du Nord\, Professional Mariner\, and Sea History. \nFrom 2009 to 2012\, Paine was the guest curator and archivist of the Norman H. Morse Collection of Ocean Liner Materials at the Osher Map Library\, University of Southern Maine in Portland\, Maine. He is chair of the board of the Maine Maritime Museum in Bath\, Maine\, which marineinsight.com named one of the ten best maritime museums in the world. \nHe has lectured on topics across the broad spectrum of maritime enterprise\, including literature of the sea\, exploration\, museum curatorship\, decorative arts\, maritime law\, trade\, and naval history. A frequent guest in academic settings\, he has spoken at NOVA University of Lisbon; Ocean University of China\, Qingdao; Leiden University\, the Netherlands; Tulane Law School; Tufts University; College of the Atlantic; the Naval War College; and the U.S. Naval Academy\, among others. \nPaine has participated in public affairs forums including the Commonwealth Club of California; Engelsberg Seminar\, Avesta\, Sweden; Times of India LitFest\, Mumbai; and Arctic Futures Institute. He has also addressed trade associations such as the Women in International Shipping and Transportation Association (WISTA) and the Propeller Club.

Before turning to writing fulltime\, he spent fourteen years as a non-fiction and reference book editor in New York. He is on the editorial board of The Northern Mariner/Le Marin du Nord\, and has also served as an editor of Sea History magazine and Itinerario: Journal of Imperial and Global Interactions. \nBefore the 1950s\, if you wanted to get to the Americas\, you had to come by boat. This was true of the waves of celebrities aboard art deco-inspired ocean liners\, of nineteenth-century European immigrants\, of enslaved Africans from the sixteenth to nineteenth centuries\, and of Spanish\, English\, and other European conquistadors from the late fourteenth century. It was also true of successive waves of people who\, starting around 15\,000 years ago\, migrated from Northeast Asia to North America and then spread south\, east\, and\, as the ice sheet retreated\, north\, many of them relying on rivers and lakes for migration\, fishing\, hunting\, and exchange. \nThis talk will sketch the broad outlines of Native Americans’ use of waterways and watercraft over the many millennia before Europeans even imagined such a thing as the Americas. \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_widget_sidebar][/vc_column][/vc_row]
