27th February 2019 11.30 am. ‘Oars Oars, Sculls Sculls’: Constructing the Thames waterman in the long eighteenth century. 

​

• Thames Watermen

• Dr Hannah Stockton is currently working at Royal Museums Greenwich as the curator of the Cutty Sark, having previously completed her PhD research at Queen Mary University of London and the National Maritime Museum. This research explored everyday life, the environment, work and leisure on and around the London Thames in the long eighteenth century. This paper will draw on some of this research, exploring both the actual experience of Thames watermen in this period, and how their image was employed in popular culture.
