Summary "The Sovereignty of the Sea" by Thomas Wemyss Fulton is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The text delves into England's claims of dominion over the British Seas, tracing the evolution of territorial waters with a focus on fishing rights and naval interactions. The work examines how maritime sovereignty has been contested and defined throughout English history, particularly against nations like the Dutch. The opening portion introduces the book by outlining the author's intention to consolidate existing information regarding English claims to sea sovereignty. Fulton discusses the historical context, particularly emphasizing the relevance of fishing rights and navigation freedom as they relate to national interests. He sets the stage for a comprehensive exploration of the historical claims, the evolution of maritime laws, and the ongoing debates surrounding territorial waters and fishing rights that have persisted into contemporary international relations. The preface emphasizes the interconnectedness of commerce, legality, and geopolitical maneuvering at sea, suggesting an intricate narrative woven through England's history and its maritime policies.
