This copy signed by the author on the title page "Steve Ritchie". xiv, 250 pages + frontispiece + plates. Blue boards with gilt lettering on spine. Page dimensions: 209mm x 145mm. "The honourable post of Hydrographer of the Navy was established in 1795 and Admiral Ritchie was the nineteenth person to hold the post, serving from 1966 to 1971. In this fascinating account of his life he traces the dramatic advances in techniques that have taken place during his fifty years of cartographic and hydrographic endeavour. At the same time he provides the reader with a very personal insight into the sea surveyor's life ashore and afloat, relating with delightful humour many incidents and personalities encountered along the way. When Steve Ritchie joined his first surveying ship, sounding with lead and line and fixing the ship with sextants and station pointers differed little from the methods in use 150 years earlier. Within his working life he has seen these methods being superseded by computerised surveying and automated cartography." - from dust-jacket blurb. Codice articolo 23807
