Excerpt from Deep-Sea Sounding and Dredging: A Description and Discussion of the Methods and Appliances Used on Board the Coast and Geodetic Survey Steamer, "Blake" We were one of the first, after Sir William Thomson, and Capt. George E. Belknap, U. S. N to use piano-forte wire for sounding purposes, and we probably continued its use for a longer time than any other organization. The Blake is the only vessel that has ever been fitted out with wire rope (the suggestion of Prof. Alexander Agassiz) for deep-sea dredging and trawling. But little has been published concerning the use of wire for sound ing; and of wire rope for dredging, nothing, in fact, excepting in a gen eral account of the Blake's dredging work by Professor Agassiz. Nearly all the apparatus for sounding and dredging used on board the Blake is new or modified from previous forms, and is peculiar to that ves sel, the water-cup (plates 20 and 40) being the first and only instrument in the field for the performance of the complex work aimed at in its design. These appliances, which are intended to effect an advance in accu racy or in celerity of operations, and to secure ultimate economy, have been well tested in actual service, and are believed to have accomplished, at least in some degree, the object sought. Having had unusual facilities, in connection with continuous work our methods were perhaps more systematic in certain directions than are generally followed by parties or organizations for the prosecution of deep sea work. Our navigation-record was comprehensive, and adapted to future revision or verification. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

“[An] amiable, in-depth examination of the most critical era for the development of modern oceanography” (Publishers Weekly). In a history at once scientific and cultural, Helen Rozwadowski shows us how the Western imagination awoke to the ocean's possibilities?in maritime novels, in the popular hobby of marine biology, in the youthful sport of yachting, and in the laying of a trans-Atlantic telegraph cable. The ocean emerged as important new territory, and scientific interests intersected with those of merchant-industrialists and politicians. Rozwadowski documents the popular crazes that coincided with these interests?from children's sailor suits to the home aquarium and the surge in ocean travel. She describes how, beginning in the 1860s, oceanography moved from yachts onto the decks of oceangoing vessels, and landlubber naturalists found themselves navigating the routines of a working ship's physical and social structures. Fathoming the Ocean offers a rare and engaging look into our fascination with the deep sea and into the origins of oceanography?origins still visible in a science that focuses the efforts of physicists, chemists, geologists, biologists, and engineers on the common enterprise of understanding a vast, three-dimensional, alien space. “Rozwadowski greatly expands our own understanding, all while telling a story that is original, wide-ranging, and illuminating.” —Margaret Deacon, Southampton Oceanography Centre, author of Science and the Sea: The Origins of Oceanography “Required reading for anyone wanting to understand how the oceans have come to play the role that they do in Western knowledge.” —Eric L. Mills, Dalhousie University and author of Biological Oceanography: An Early History, 1870-1960 “Chronicles the birth of deep-sea oceanography, from early observations by Benjamin Franklin to the voyage of HMS Challenger in the 1870s. [Rozwadowski] weaves a rich narrative from the world of renowned as well as lesser-known oceanographers.” —Nature
