The Atlanticus Journal of the Museu Marítimo do Extremo Oriental das Américas (EXEA), is a journal specialized in the study of the Atlantic Ocean, the second largest ocean on Earth, whose waters bathe the coasts of the Americas, Europe, and Africa, ranging from Greenland to Tierra del Fuego. Drawing from Fernand Braudel's conception for the study of the Mediterranean Sea, not merely seeing it as a mere locality, but treating it as a spatio-temporal dimension of events and a historical agent, we bring his ideas to study the Atlantic, its coasts, islands, bays, and rivers, through the fields of Maritime History, Maritime Archaeology, and Maritime Heritage.

​

Addressing themes such as voyages, expeditions, navigation, territoriality, borders, cartography, politics, war, navy, economy, fishing, trade, culture, imagery, society, migration, slavery, underwater archaeology, nautical and naval affairs; maritime heritage, and other specific themes to be defined in dossiers.

 

Thus, the Atlanticus Journal of the Museu Marítimo EXEA, seeks to gather contributions from different scholars who can collaborate in the development of research and studies that expand the historical, archaeological, museological, and legal knowledge possessed about the Atlantic Ocean throughout History.
