2001 The 2001 annual Vaughan Evans Memorial Lecture was given during the Maritime History Beyond 2000: Visions of Sea and Shore conference on Thursday 14 December 2001. It was titled 'Encompassing Oceania: Beach Crossings for a Pacific Maritime History' by Emeritus Professor Greg Dening (Melbourne University). Due to illness Professor Denning was not able to present the lecture himself and the AAMH President Dr Mark Staniforth read the paper in Greg's absence. The lecture was well received and AAMH members will be able to read a text version in a future issue of The Great Circle. |
