Kalingan Prince Vijaya was the first Sinhalese king of Sri Lanka. He ruled Sri Lanka in the 6th-century BCE.
Kalingans further established a kingdom in the far-off Maldives Islands before 3rd century BCE !
This is concrete testimony of the early sea-faring people of Odisha.

Ptolemy's work of ~150 CE - "Geography" - mentions the Kalinga trade with *Far-East*.
*Kalinga-Roman* maritime trade flourished as well, judging from the findings of Shishupalgarh excavations.

NAM Rodger says in @LRB that there are “scarcely more than a score” of memoirs by ordinary sailors, in a review of Stephen Taylor’s “Sons of the Waves”, covering 1740-1840. Hmm, I thought.
He’s talking about autobiography published in book form ... but in 19C most historical writing, inc memoir, was not to be found in books, but in magazines and newspapers, as @lesliehowsam has established.
I haven’t read the book, nor those of Prof Rodger & don’t know anything about #maritimehistory or #navalhistory. But 30 mins searching in @BNArchive, which contains less than 10% of British/Irish newspapers, found a dozen memoirs, not in Stephen Taylor's book.
Heavy traffic! This map shows routes of #Dutch, #English and #Swedish East India companies, based on the amazing #CLIWOC dataset (thanks @stvno!). The data is based on naval logbook records; here I only show data pre-1800. #twttterstorians #AsianTwitter #maritimehistory #VOC
You can download the data here: stvno.github.io/page/cliwoc/ or here: easy.dans.knaw.nl/ui/datasets/id…
I'll soon tweet some more maps using this dataset, they allow (among others) linkage with the VOC crews dataset.
