This volume provides the first comprehensive history of education
and training for officers of the Royal Navy in the eighteenth and
nineteenth centuries. It covers the development of educational
provision, from the first 1702 Order in Council appointing
schoolmasters to serve in operational warships, to the laying of
the foundation stone of the present Royal Naval College Dartmouth
in 1902. Educating the Royal Navy 1702-1902 includes the
establishment of the Royal Navy's first naval academy, the
commissioning of the officer training ship HMS Britannia, and the
conduct of education at sea. It also covers the birth of higher
education in the Service with the opening of the Royal Naval
College Greenwich, and the provision of technical education and
training for a new category of officer, the naval engineer. This
book will be essential reading for students of naval history and
naval education, and of much interest to professional military
colleges studying the development of naval training.
