Science, Utility and British Naval Technology, 1793–1815 (Routledge Studies in Modern British History)

This book examines the role of the Inspector General of Naval Works, an Admiralty office occupied by Samuel Bentham between 1796 and 1807, which initiated a range of changes in dockyard technology. While primarily about the technology, this book also examines the complementary changes in the industrial culture of the dockyards.
