Analyzing the economic, political, social, and scientific changes on which the British sailed to power, this book shows how the British Admiralty collaborated closely not only with scholars, such as William Whewell, but also with the maritime community, in order to systematize knowledge of the world's oceans, coasts, ports, and estuaries.
