As the U nitedStates grew into an empire
in the late nineteenth century, sea power de-
rived not from fleets, bases, and decisive bat-
tles but from a scientific effort to understand
and master the ocean environment. Beginning
in the early nineteenth century and conclud-
ing in the first years of the twentieth, Jason
W. Smith tells the story of the rise of the U.S.
Navy and the emergence of American ocean
empire through its struggle to control nature.
In vividly told sketches of exploration, naval
officers, war, and, most significantly, the ocean
environment, Smith draws together insights
from environmental, maritime, military, and
naval history, and the history of science and
cartography, placing the LJ.S. Navy’s scientific
efforts within a broader cultural context.
By recasting and deepening our under-
standing of the U.S. Navy and the United
States at sea, Smith brings to the fore the over-
looked work of naval hydrographers, survey-
ors, and cartographers- In the nautical chart’s
soundings, names, symbols, and embedded
narratives, Smith recounts the largely untold
story of a young nation looking to extend its
power over the boundless sea.
