Maritime history of the Channel Islands
text:
The Channel Islands are a group of islands off the coast of France. The largest island is Jersey, followed by Guernsey, Alderney, Sark, and a number of smaller islands, islets and rocky outcrops. The islands were separated from mainland Europe with rising sea levels in the Neolithic period; thereafter maritime activity commenced. Needing to trade, the islanders were innovative. Over time they built up skills, earning money and investing capital in maritime businesses.
