Book Overview

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.
