Forests and Sea Power: The Timber Problem of the Royal Navy 1652-1862
Description
The book looks at the issues surrounding the supply of timber – for ships and masts – to the Royal Navy between 1652 and 1862. It examines the shortage of timber, and the dependence on foreign lands, initially for masts and then all timber needs. It explores the impact of the need for timber supplies on the Royal Navy, in international law, in naval architecture, and on Britain’s foreign, colonial, commercial and forest policies.
