Exploring the professional and political ideas of Newfoundland
naval governors during the French Wars, this book traces the
evolution of the Naval Governorship and administration of the
region, shedding a light on a critical period of its early modern
history. Contextualising Newfoundland as part of Britain’s
broader Atlantic Empire, Morrow focuses on the years 1793-1815 as
it transitioned from a largely migratory fishery and ‘nursery of
seaman’ to a colonial settlement with a resident British and
Irish population. With a diversifying economy and growing
demography amidst the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars, the
governors of Newfoundland faced a unique set of challenges. Drawing
upon various primary and secondary sources, Morrow provides a
comprehensive account of their responses to the perceived needs of
those they governed - both settler and indigenous - and reveals the
professional attitudes and attributes they brought to bear on both
their civil and military responsibilities.
