This book surveys the lives and careers of naval officers across
Europe at the height of the age of sail. It traces the
professionalization of naval officers by exploring their
preparation for life at sea and the challenges they faced while in
command. It also demonstrates the uniqueness of the maritime
experience, as long voyages and isolation at sea cemented their
bond with naval officers across Europe while separating them from
landlubbers. It depicts, in a way no previous study has, the
parameters of their shared experiences-both the similarities that
crossed national boundaries and connected officers, and the
differences that can only be seen from an international
perspective.
