Excerpt from Sam Noble, Tween Decks in the Seventies: An Autobiography IT gives me much pleasure to write a foreword to Mr. Sam Noble's engrossing book. In it the Author skilfully depicts life in the Navy of that period in its lights and shadows, though he in his love and loyalty of the Sea Service is a healthy optimist. Above all he shows the great brotherhood of the Seaman and rank and file 'tween decks which can hardly be rivalled by the modern comradeship of the Great War. The greatest maritime power of the world has not yet realised how much it owes to the loyalty, cheerfulness and endurance of the rank and file of the lower deck, not only in recent wars, including the Great War 1914 - 18, but in times of piping peace. Think of 1s. 7d. A day for an able seaman, until 1919 - 20, and as Mr. Noble describes in his book, the four long years of separation, since reduced to two years as a general rule, the coarse fare, the weevilly biscuit in default of bread, and frequently the warfare against wind and weather when sail power was constantly used, the seaman literally at times had to hold on with the agility of a monkey, as everybody who has experienced handling sails on a swaying yard in a rough sea knows to his cost.

A sailor of the Queen aboard HMS Swallow in the 1870s The mid-Victorian period saw the Queen-Empress' domains growing in number, stability and strength all over the globe. The days of sail were all but done and now it was the time of the 'ironclad' and the 'gunboat'. Wars were inevitable and frequent as they must be when empires encroach on the domains of other peoples, but the time of rolling broadsides from wooden decks was gone forever. The Royal Navy ensured that Britannia did not 'rule the waves' merely in song. It was a strategic fact. So Noble's navy was an entirely different one from that of half a century before and it would be the foundation for the Royal Navy that would fight at Jutland and the great sea battles of the Second World War. This is the engaging, intimate and first hand account of an ordinary seaman's life. The doings of his ship and anecdotes of the personalities he knew are recounted in graphic detail with a fair measure of humour, enabling the modern reader to gain a vivid insight into naval life of the period. An essential book for all those interested in the history of the Royal Navy.

This book examines how the expansion of a steam-powered Royal Navy from the second half of the nineteenth century had wider ramifications across the British Empire. In particular, it considers how steam propulsion made vessels utterly dependent on a particular resource – coal – and its distribution around the world. In doing so, it shows that the ‘coal question’ was central to imperial defence and the protection of trade, requiring the creation of infrastructures that spanned the globe. This infrastructure required careful management, and the processes involved show the development of bureaucracy and the reliance on the ‘contractor state’ to ensure this was both robust and able to allow swift mobilisation in war. The requirement to stop regularly at foreign stations also brought men of the Royal navy into contact with local coal heavers, as well as indigenous populations and landscapes. These encounters and their dissemination are crucial to our understanding of imperial relationships and imaginations at the height of the imperial age.
