"A History of the Administration of the Royal Navy and of Merchant Shipping" by M. Oppenheim is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work examines the evolution and organization of the Royal Navy from the accession of Henry VIII until the end of the Commonwealth, alongside the relationship between naval and merchant shipping. This book is particularly interesting for those who wish to gain insights into naval administration and the historical context of England's maritime development. The opening of the text establishes the author's intention to fill a notable gap in the history of naval administration, emphasizing that while numerous books discuss naval expeditions and battles, few have systematically explored the structures that allowed such actions to take place. Oppenheim acknowledges the significance of naval organization as critical to the Navy's successes and failures. He begins with a discussion on the creation of the Royal Navy, tracing its roots back to the Norman Conquest and explaining how it evolved over time into a vital instrument of the state, necessitating a formal administration to manage its operations effectively.
