hardcover 19 x 25,5cm., 391pp., uitgebreide kleurillustratie. ISBN 9789058269508. De Schelde is een van de grote wereldrivieren, niet in lengte, maar wel wegens haar economisch en historisch belang. In het Scheldegebied liggen vijf zeehavens, waaronder Antwerpen, de tweede haven van Europa. Het politieke verhaal van de vrije vaart op de Schelde, die meer dan twee eeuwen was gesloten voor het zeeverkeer, is uniek. De geschiedenis van het Scheldestatuut is verweven in die van de Eruropese handel en diplomatie. Zij vormt ook een rode draad in het samenleven van de Nederlanden. Dit rijk geillustreerde boek schetst de wederwaardigheden van de scheepvaart op de Schelde vanuit een breed internationaal, politiek, economisch en cultureel perspectief.
