The term maritime has been derived from the Latin word, maritimis, means, marttim which refers more specifically to the Sea as a field of human action. In other words, it refers to the use of the sea by man for some human interest connected with the sea. It denotes coastal commercial and naval activities undertaken by traders and merchants on the high seas. In recent years, with the insurgency in the methods and contents of historical writing, academicians have taken a lot of interest in maritime research due to the change in perspective from narrative, political, descriptive, elitist history to a more scientific, interdisciplinary, critical history of the common man in order to reconstruct the overall history of humankind.
