Charles Rathbone Low (1837 1918) was a lieutenant in the Indian
Navy and author of popular books on military history and nautical
exploration, including Soldiers of the Victorian Age and Maritime
Discovery. This two-volume work, first published in 1877,
comprehensively covers the history of the British Indian Navy, from
its origins as the Bombay Marine to its abolition in 1863. It is an
exceptionally detailed historical source, containing indexes of the
ships and officers of the Indian Navy, and as such, it is a work of
great importance to those interested in the history of the Indian
Navy or the people that came into contact with it. Volume 1 begins
with the early voyages of the East India Company's ships and
includes a chapter on the relationship between the Bombay Marine
and the Joasmi pirates. It concludes with the Bombay Marine
becoming the Indian Navy in 1830.
