Steam Power and Sea Power: Coal, the Royal Navy, and the British Empire, c. 1870-1914 - Cambridge Imperial and Post-Colonial Studies 1st ed. 2018 edition
Steven Gray
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.
