Acknowledgements
We would like to thank the Palgrave team who supported the idea of the book from its conception and the anonymous reviewer who provided detailed feedback on the individual chapters and the structure of the book. The project grew out of the Port Towns & Urban Cultures (PTUC) research group, which has been generously funded by the University of Portsmouth since 2010. We are grateful in particular to Dave Andress, our Associate Dean of Research, for his advice, encouragement, and support in setting up and developing PTUC. We have been fortunate to work within a highly talented research group in which we can discuss ideas, papers, and projects together. So thanks to Mel Bassett, Steven Gray, Jessica Moody, Lou Moon, Mathias Seiter, Chris Spackman, Daniel Swan, and James Thomas whose enquiring minds and convivial company have been much appreciated—usually in the confines of a public house on the waterfront (where else could be more appropriate!)
