An Empire of Ice: Scott, Shackleton and the heroic age of Antarctic science - By Edward J. Larson
Deutsches Schiffahrtsarchiv 31 (2008) - Edited by Eric Hoops: Reviews
Of Ships and Stars: Maritime Heritage and the Founding of the National Maritime Museum, Greenwich. Kevin Littlewood , Beverley Butler
The Mediterranean Was a Desert: A Voyage of the Glomar Challenger . Kenneth J. Hsü
George Strong Nares (1831-1915)
In 1852 Nares sailed for the Arctic in the Resolute, under Captain Henry Kellet. The Resolute and the Intrepid wintered off Melville Island, and Nares took part in sledge journeys searching unavailingly for traces of the missing ships. Instead they found a message that led to the rescue of McClure and the crew of the Investigator, frozen in off Banks Island after passing through the Bering Strait. ... The British Arctic Expedition of 1875-1876, i…
G. Herbert Fowler (1861-1940): The forgotten oceanographer
The name of G. Herbert Fowler is still familiar to oceanographers as the editor of Science of the Sea (I) which appeared in 1912. His contribution to marine science is otherwise only remembered by those familiar with his researches on plankton. He won a more enduring reputation late in life and in a totally different field— the study of archives and local history (2). Yet Fowler’s scientific career is of interest today, not because his contributi…
Notes and Comments
Sir George Strong Nares (18311915)
Nares is perhaps best known as the commander of the Challenger expedition from 1872 to 1874, a voyage of exploration which, it has been said, laid the foundations of almost every branch of oceanography as we know it today (British Museum, 1973). He also achieved fame as commander of the British Arctic Expedition of 187576, and as the author of Seamanship , which went through many editions in the second half of the 19th century. He is a fine examp…
Scientists and the Sea, 1650-1900: A Study of Marine Science
Captain Cook as a navigator
The late Professor E. G. R. Taylor, perhaps the greatest authority on the history of navigation, summarized Captain Cook’s contribution in the following words: ‘Captain James Cook is deservedly esteemed as a great seaman, and he must be acclaimed also in the more particular role of a great navigator. For although he made no specific contribution to the art of navigation as such, he advanced it by sheer force of character. It was, indeed, a task f…
