This is the first general selection from the substantial body of
surviving documents about Elizabeth's navy. It is a companion to
The Navy of Edward VI and Mary I (Vol.157 in the NRS Series), where
the apparatus serving both volumes was printed, and it complements
the other NRS volumes that deal specifically with the Spanish
Armada. This collection concentrates (though not exclusively so) on
the early years of Elizabeth's reign when there was no formal war.
From 1558-1585 the navy was involved in a number of small-scale
campaigns, pursuit of pirates and occasional shows of force. The
documents selected emphasize the financial and administrative
processes that supported these operations, such as mustering,
victualing, demobilisation, and ship maintenance and repair. The
fleet varied in size from about 30 to 45 ships during the period
and a vast amount of maintenance and repair was required. The main
component of the volume is the massively detailed Navy Treasurer's
account for 1562-3 which is followed by and collated with the
corresponding Exchequer Account. The documents illustrate just how
efficiently the dockyards functioned. They were one of the great
early Elizabethan achievements.
