Unknown binding. Etat : Fair. "Today British Admiralty charts are carried onboard virtually every British and innumerable foreign vessels sailing in all parts of the world. The practice of supplying the Fleet and the merchant marine with up-to-date charts produced under Admiralty auspices dates back to the heyday of the British East India Company in the eighteenth century. In this book Rear Admiral Ritchie describes just what thas lain behind the compilation of those charts - the organisation, the development of surveying techniques, the expeditions and above all the personalities."Ex military Library stock so expect to see light wear and possible markings and annotations in the text.
