After completing his studies at Trinity College, Oxford, John
Charnock (1756-1807) joined the Royal Navy as a volunteer. Though
details of his career at sea are lacking, he is known to have
embarked on assiduous research into historical and contemporary
naval affairs, and he cultivated contacts with many serving
officers. His six-volume Biographia Navalis (1794-8), flawed yet
still useful, is also reissued in the Cambridge Library Collection.
Published in three volumes from 1800 to 1802, the present work
stands as the first serious study of naval architecture in Britain
in particular, while also noting major developments in Europe and
beyond. The volumes are illustrated throughout with numerous
designs of vessels. Volume 1 (1800) traces the origins of marine
architecture and how it was affected by commerce and war, from the
ancient Chinese and Egyptians, through the Greeks and Romans, up to
the death of Richard III.
