More than Venice's Successor: Rethinking the Austrian Navy in the Late Eighteenth and Early Nineteenth Centuries

A naval history paper traces the Austrian Navy’s formation through both Venice’s maritime inheritance and the Habsburg Monarchy’s earlier ambitions centred on Trieste.

Jiayi Liu examines how the Austrian Navy developed from the interaction between the transfer of Venetian ships, ports and personnel and the Habsburg Monarchy’s earlier maritime activity through Trieste. The page names Dr Alan James and Jiayi Liu in its event listing, while identifying Liu as the speaker in the paper description. It is open to the public and free to attend in person or online; in-person spaces are limited and registration is requested. The in-person venue is Dockrill Room (KIN 628), King’s Building, Strand Campus.
