Recently published Issue 2 focuses on the topic of ocean economies, livelihoods, and technologies, and includes research articles about the business of 19th-century transatlantic immigration, the role of captains’ wives in shaping early tourism in Hawai’i, and how the transition from sail to coal might help us think about today’s energy transition. A gorgeous photo essay explores fish markets around the world, and an anthropologist in the Philippines writes about a traditional deep-sea fishing boat. Also included is stunning art by three significant contemporary artists: Alexis Rockman, Firelei Baéz, and Masaaki Miyasako.
