Dr Morgan compares the performance of Bristol as a port during the eighteenth century with the growth of other out ports, especially Liverpool and Glasgow, and shows that, paradoxically, the absolute growth of Bristol's Atlantic trade between 1700 and 1800 was concomitant with its relative decline as a port.
