Description

This comprehensive historical volume traces the development of officer education and training within the Royal Navy across two centuries, from the 1702 Order in Council that established the first shipboard schoolmasters through to the foundation of Royal Naval College Dartmouth in 1902. The book examines the evolution of naval educational provision, including the establishment of the Royal Navy's inaugural naval academy, the commissioning of HMS Britannia as an officer training vessel, and the distinctive methods of education conducted at sea. Part of the Cass Series on Naval Policy and History, this scholarly work offers detailed insight into how the Navy developed its educational systems to prepare officers for command and service. It fills a significant gap in maritime history by providing the first thorough account of these formative centuries in naval officer development, making it essential reading for historians, naval enthusiasts, and those studying the institutional history of Britain's maritime forces.
