Book Description
Edward Blackmore - Master Mariner and associate of the institution of Naval Architects in 19th century England - dedicates himself to one of the most interesting and important sections of British maritime history: the Mercantile Marine. Founded upon a series of papers written for the Shipmasters' Society of London, the book describes in detail the rise and progress of British shipping and commerce, the education of the Merchant Officer, and duty and discipline in the Merchant service."This littele book does not, of course, pretend to be in any way exhaustive of the history of the British Mercantile Marine; nevertheless, it is hoped that it will afford a sufficient outline of its past and present to be both interesting and instructive to those who care to know anything of the rise and progress of our Merchant Navy."Reprint of the original edition from 1897.

Book Description
At one time British ships carried half of the world's trade, transporting every conceivable type of freight from and to all four corners of the globe – and in times of crisis the merchant fleet has also offered military assistance. In fact, the merchant convoys and armed cruisers that defied the German blockades to supply Britain in the First World War were so pivotal that they were recognised as a second 'navy' – the Merchant Navy. This fleet again saw service in the Second World War, continuing to keep Britain provisioned even in its darkest hour. Richard Woodman here relates the Merchant Navy's colourful history and brings to life the day-to-day experiences of the seamen.
