- **Event Description**: This is a Stanfords, London eventAbout this EventJoin renowned historian Alistair Moffat as he traces the windswept story of the North Sea throughout British history and examines how it has shaped who we are today.In The North Sea, Alistair Moffat spends a year travelling its shores to better understand our relationship to this life-giving and destructive sea. Running from Kent and the Rhine estuary to the Norwegian coast and the tip of the Shetland islands, it has been home to warring tribes, foreign invaders, lost civilisations and holidaymakers. With a history that spans millennia, these waters contain a multitude of stories:From Pictish citadels and Orcadian stone circles to Roman invasions, the arrival of the Saxons and the Viking raids.Of technological advancement, of submarine engineering and weather forecasting.Of huge industry, from whaling expeditions and fishing trawlers to the boom of North Sea oil and offshore wind farms.Today, the North Sea rises rapidly, claiming land mass as the east coast crumbles and sinks.This is the story of how the North Sea shaped us and will continue to do so.‘A rollicking, surprising, often moving personal history of a big part of the British story that has long needed its own narrative. Page-turningly entertaining’ - ANDREW MARRThe North Sea is a rich and adventurous exploration of one of the great arenas of British history’ - MICHAEL PALIN'Alistair Moffat's The North Sea perfectly pitches itself against that awesome body of water as a humble, expert travelogue- and entirely succeeds as such.
