This chapter explores the German shipping industry during the years 1650–1900, and places focus on Hamburg’s merchant fleet in particular. It investigates the lives of the fleet’s sailors, including their origin; wages; group formations; and mobility between occupations, and provides details of recruitment policies and restrictions. The article also researches the involvement of German sailors within international fleets and discusses the strained relationship between Denmark and Hamburg that came as a result of limiting recruitment policies and the Danish King’s decision to forbid his subjects to enrol in fleets abroad.
