摘要

The Baltic Sea is not a region of the world associated with the activities of the Royal Navy. In many ways this is unsurprising: for a period of 74 years between 1727 and 1801, for instance, not a single British naval vessel entered the Baltic, which might indicate that the area was not of strategic or tactical importance to the British. However, in John D. Grainger's new book The British Navy in the Baltic we learn that this assumption is misleading, and that the Baltic was frequently, if not permanently, an important area both for the Royal Navy and the British nation throughout their respective histories. On numerous occasion naval fleets were sent to the region to intervene in European disputes - sometimes when invited by Baltic nations but often not - while Britain's need for the naval stores such as hemp, tar and timber, found in abundance in the region, meant access to the Baltic was a constant issue for successive British governments.

Grainger)的新书《波罗的海的英国海军》中,我们了解到这种假设具有误导性,而且波罗的海在整个历史上经常(即使不是永久地)成为皇家海军和不列颠国家的重要领域。在许多情况下,海军舰队被派往该地区,以干预欧洲争端-有时是应波罗的海国家的邀请而却并非如此-而英国对该地区大量存在的诸如大麻,焦油和木材等海军仓库的需求意味着可以进入对于历届英国政府来说,波罗的海问题一直是一个长期问题。
