- Coal, the Royal Navy, and the British Empire, c. 1870-1914

Bag om Steam Power and Sea Power

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 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.
