For the best article on North American maritime history
published in a peer-reviewed journal in 2023
Honorarium: $1,000
Closing date for entries/nominations: March 1, 2024
Send copy and complete citation for the article to: NASOHGibsonaward@gmail.com
Selection: Articles will be evaluated by a three-person committee of NASOH members
Announcement of award recipient: TBD.
********The Recipient must be present at the NASOH conference to receive the award.********
NASOH presents the Charles Dana Gibson Award annually to the author of the most significant article on any aspect of North American maritime history published in a refereed journal during the previous year.
A longtime and beloved member of NASOH, Gibson was an authority on the history of the American merchant marine and with his wife, Kay, co-author of a unique three-volume history of the U.S. Army’s navy. Mr. Gibson was a World War II veteran of the U.S. Army Transportation Corps, Water Division, and of the U.S. Merchant Marine. After the war, his pro-bono consulting work led to the Department of Defense awarding veteran status and benefits to more than 84,000 civilian seamen who served in the merchant marine between December 7, 1941, and August 15, 1945. He also authored the qualification brief for the civilian seamen of the Army Transportation Corps of World War II, which helped win veteran status for that group as well.
Gibson authored four books, and co-authored four others with his wife, on various aspects of maritime history. Their Assault and Logistics: Union Army Coastal and River Operations, 1861–1866 received the 1996 John Lyman Award for Naval History. Their last book, Over Seas: U.S. Army Maritime Operations, 1898 through the Fall of the Philippines, published in 2002, was selected by the American Library Association as an Outstanding Academic Title. In 2004, Charles Dana Gibson and E. Kay Gibson received the K. Jack Bauer Award for their contributions to maritime history. They are the only husband-and-wife team to have been so honored. For his work on behalf of World War II merchant seamen, Gibson received the Captain K. C. Torrens Award from the Council of American Master Mariners, the Distinguished Service Award from the U. S. Merchant Marine Academy at Kings Point, and the Marconi Memorial Gold Medal of Achievement from the Veteran Wireless Operators Association.
Gibson’s professional affiliations included membership in the Council of American Master Mariners, the Marine Society of the City of New York, the North American Society for Oceanic History, Steamship Historical Society, Army Historical Foundation, and the Council on America’s Military Past.
In retirement, Dana and Kay made numerous months-long cruises in the Bahamas, the Great Lakes, and the river system between Chicago and Mobile in the Hannah II, which he designed. They divided their time ashore between homes in Camden, Maine, and North Hutchinson Island, Florida.

One doctoral studentship in Archaeology within the research area of Historical Studies, affiliated with the Baltic and East European Graduate School (BEEGS)
One specialisation offered at Södertörn University is maritime archaeology, and the MARIS research institute is able to support new projects in a range of ways. For more information, please click here (English version) or click here (Swedish version).
Archaeology focuses on human beings and their culture and society, from ancient times to the present day. Using material remains as their primary source material, archaeologists interpret what life was like at different times and in different cultural contexts. Archaeology at Södertörn University also emphasises a critical perspective and the importance of relating archaeology to current societal issues. Archaeological research is thus not only about the past, but entails equal emphasis on the understanding of people as cultural beings.

CNRS and NASOH 2024 Conference
https://www.cnrs-scrn.org/admin/conferences_f.html
2024 Call for Papers
Inland Seas, Rivers and Canals
With the conference held in the Niagara Peninsula it is fitting that the overall theme for the event concerns the Great Lakes, rivers, and canals that allow the movement of ships from the ocean into the heart of the North American continent. The route has played a crucial role in exploration, transportation, trade, and war across both the region and time. Throughout Canada, rivers allowed the movement of raw materials from wood and wheat to iron ore and the goods they made, nationally and globally. The inland waterways were the sites of settlement for First Nations and later settlers, serving as the link to supplies, commerce, and invasion. Canals, for defence and trade, were the giant engineering projects of their age, reshaping the land and communities through which they passed.
CNRS/NASOH invite people to submit proposals for papers at the 2024 conference on the topic of maritime history in relation to inland seas, rivers, and canals. Potential areas include, but are not limited to, exploration, ship building, canal construction, waterways, and conflict, shipping in relation to a specific trade, harbours, the fresh water fishing industry, and more.
The conference conveners are also open to proposals on maritime-related subjects beyond the conference theme. Proposals that have an interdisciplinary approach are most welcomed.
Session and individual paper proposals should include: A) title; B) abstract, not exceeding 500 words; C) a 250 word biographical statement; D) contact information, including phone number, address, affiliation, and email. Please submit this information as a single Word document, single-spaced, 12-point Times New Roman font, and not as a PDF. Accommodations for PowerPoint presentations will be provided; any other requirements, including audio-visual equipment, special outlets, or accommodation for disabilities should be included in the proposal. Please note that all participants must register for the conference.
Panel proposals of no more than 3 papers are highly encouraged.
This conference will have hybrid capabilities for international presenters (not including the United States or Canada). If you are international and wish to present via zoom, please indicate in your proposal. There will be additional opportunities to attend virtually as well.
The deadline for proposal submission is February 1, 2024. Please submit proposal packets electronically to the Program Committee care of Thomas Malcomson, at mailto:CNRSNASOHBrock2024conference@gmail.com
