AI Decodes 461 Years of Handwritten Maritime Records to Reveal Britain's Historic Shipping Trade

University of Southampton historians trained AI to read centuries-old handwriting from 100,000 pages of port books, creating an interactive map that charts Britain's maritime trade from 1565 to 1765. The project reveals Europe accounted for 80% of England's overseas trade value in 1696-97, with coal and ale as top commodities.
