Author: Richard Woodman

With the turn of a new century comes a new kind of war. One which the Merchant Navy will play a key role By the end of the nineteenth century the British Merchant Navy had become the world?s largest carrier of people, manufactured goods and raw materials. It supported the growing populations of Canada, Australia and New Zealand within the Briti... more »sh Empire and provided a universal service to all parts of the world. Almost every British family had a member serving in merchant ships whose variety and type are bedazzling in these last years of sail and the final coming of age of both the ocean liner and the deep-sea tramp-ship. All this was achieved against a ceaseless struggle against the elements and then, after 1914, against the malice of a new enemy, the German U-Boat, which brought Britain close to surrender in 1917. Only the dogged courage of an almost defenceless Merchant Navy avoided this catastrophe. In this volume, 1885 to 1920, Woodman continues his fascinating insight into the development of the merchant navy. Praise for Richard Woodman?s History of the British Merchant Navy: ?Richard Woodman reminds us of the importance of merchant ships and our debts to the seafarers ? men and women ? who manned.? HRH Princess Anne ?If Neptune?s Trident sets the standard for what is to follow - we can at least rest assured that there is a series that truly does justice to our proud merchant maritime past.? Nautilus UK Telegraph ?Richard Woodman tells many a good tale in this first volume and it is fascinating to read. I highly recommend this first volume in the Neptune s Trident for anyone with an interest in the early modern period. If the rest of the series is as good as this one, they should all be on the bookshelves of those studying the history of Britain, from the sixteenth to the twentieth centuries.? Open History Captain Richard Martin Woodman LVO is an English novelist and naval historian who retired in 1997 from a 37 year nautical career, mainly working for Trinity House, to write full-time.
