Description
"Rooted in the 13th century, these 48 articles regulate life on board and belowdeck -- meals, work songs (no laughing during them), gambling (not after sundown), watches,weapons, shore leave, contracts, beer ration, maintenance, fornication, mutiny, etc. Fines go to the poor. Lübeck's prominence in medieval shipping brought these labor laws into wide use across the Hanseatic League, Brabant to Prussia." --Bookseller's note
