Centred upon a man who never participated in combat operations
during his sixty-year naval career, this volume depicts the routine
peacetime operations of the mid-Victorian Royal Navy, operations
that have received short shrift in naval histories, even though
they have constituted the bulk of the service's mission during the
past two centuries. Not surprisingly, the Navy operated in support
of the liberal state and its agenda, as many of the documents in
this collection make clear. Following the Monroe Doctrine in 1823,
both Britain and the United States moved quickly to exploit new
trade opportunities and for the next seventy years it was the Royal
Navy that enforced the Doctrine, to the benefit of British
commercial interests, but also to those of the United States and of
any other country engaged in legitimate trade in the hemisphere.
The service took the lead in combating piracy and the slave trade,
and upheld the rule of law across global trade routes. The
documents that comprise this volume therefore deal with topics of
interest to scholars of international relations, Anglo-American
affairs, the U.S. Civil War and the slave trade. Other aspects
addressed include naval medicine, steam-era logistics and other
elements of the Royal Navy's modernization pertaining to its
materiel, personnel, and administration.
