By means of a comparative analysis of the 's 2018;Dutch case's 2019; with the Saintonge in South-West France and Bohuslan in South-West Sweden, this paper analyses the rise and decline of maritime services clusters in preindustrial Europe. The leading question for this comparative analysis is: Was the 's 2018;Dutch case's 2019; exceptional or can similar developments be recognised in other parts of Europe as well? A survey of the regional economic origins of communities of maritime transporters is combined with analyses of their operations and institutions. Relying on primary sources, the paper addresses the contribution of a great many 's 2018;anonymous's 2019; people, that literally connected the 's 2018;nodes's 2019; in international maritime trade networks, but whose contribution to the preindustrial European economy has been assumed a priori rather than thoroughly investigated.
