摘要

This impressive and immaculately produced book, dedicated to the 'spirit and determination of the Hydrographers and Marine Cartographers who have stood their place in the history of India', is very much more than a history of the Hydrographic Department. It begins with descriptions of the earliest known voyages across the Indian Ocean and adjacent seas from the 15th century onwards. The story really begins when trading vessels from the newly established British East India Company began arriving on the coast of India at the beginning of the 17th century. Thomas Smith, Chairman of the Company Directors, appointed Richard Hakluyt as custodian of the Company Ships' journals, many of which contained vital exploration data. Samuel Purchas took over this task in 1616.
