Excerpt from The Port of London and the Thames Barrage: A Series of Expert Studies and Reports on the Conditions Prevailing in the Tidal River and Estuary of the Thames; Dealing Especially With Its Geological, Engineering, Navigation, Sanitary, Trading and Commercial Aspects, and the Effects Upon These of Vari The Committee formed in 1903 to promote a public enquiry into the proposed Barrage across the Thames in the neighbourhood of Gravesend - thus converting the whole of the lower river into a freshwater lake - having so far failed to attain its main object, has instituted a series of expert enquiries and studies into the various questions which have arisen and are involved in the Barrage proposal. As it is practically certain that in the next Session of Parliament proposals will be submitted dealing with the Port of London, it is hoped that, whatever the proposals may be, they will not be such as to exclude the possibility of a thorough enquiry by experts appointed or approved by the Board of Trade into the whole Barrage question. Unfortunately for the tidal Thames as a River and Port, the average Londoner knows it not. In Hamburg, in Antwerp, the Port is the life of the city. If you improve the Port you practically improve the business of every ratepayer, hence the energy displayed there, so that any proposal for improvement which is prima facie sound is certain to be carefully examined by the responsible technical advisers of the Port Authorities, and capital is always forthcoming to carry out such works as may be recommended by those advisers. In London, on the other hand, only a relatively small proportion of the business world has any direct connection with the Port, and the West End knows probably less about the Port of London than it does about Hamburg. The Thames Barrage Committee, in publishing the following expert studies feels that it is fulfilling a public duty by supplying information not otherwise accessible which should be of interest, not only to those who are directly affected by the trade of the river but also to all who wish to see the premier port of the world maintain its position and, if possible improve it. In the following Studies and Reports the technical questions have been chiefly dealt with. It would have been impossible to consider the subject from the point of view of the various special interests which would be affected, such as the Dock Companies, the Wharfingers, the Barging trades, the owners of riverside properties, &c. If it is once shown that the proposal is a practical one, which, if carried out, would offer greater advantages than the present system, or rather lack of system, then will be the time to weigh carefully the effect of the scheme on vested interests, and the cost of any fair compensation as against the advantages to be secured. Short History of the Port of London. Page 16. - "The Port of London is still, as it has been for at least 200 years, the greatest in the world in respect of the amount of shipping and of goods which enter it. Statistics show a constant growth in the volume of trade, although the rate of increase has not been so rapid in the more recent years as it was in some former times.

In the first half of the nineteenth century, the British sought to master the physical properties of the oceans; in the second half, they lorded over large portions of the oceans’ outer rim. The dominance of Her Majesty’s navy was due in no small part to collaboration between the British Admiralty, the maritime community, and the scientific elite. Together, they transformed the vast emptiness of the ocean into an ordered and bounded grid. In the process, the modern scientist emerged. Science itself expanded from a limited and local undertaking receiving parsimonious state support to worldwide and relatively well financed research involving a hierarchy of practitioners. Analyzing the economic, political, social, and scientific changes on which the British sailed to power, Tides of History shows how the British Admiralty collaborated closely not only with scholars, such as William Whewell, but also with the maritime community —sailors, local tide table makers, dockyard officials, and harbormasters—in order to systematize knowledge of the world’s oceans, coasts, ports, and estuaries. As Michael S. Reidy points out, Britain’s security and prosperity as a maritime nation depended on its ability to maneuver through the oceans and dominate coasts and channels. The practice of science and the rise of the scientist became inextricably linked to the process of European expansion.
