摘要：This collection of essays is a remarkably good first step toward a history of the ocean in a transnational, global context.

The essays are the outgrowth of efforts by the late David van Keuren of the Naval Research Laboratory and Gary Weir of the Naval Historical Center to transform occasional International Congresses on the History of Oceanography into something more permanent. The result was the bi-annual Matthew F. Maury Workshops on the History of Oceanography, the third of which produced these essays. The editors and authors assert that oceanography encompasses the technological, military, and naval, as well as the general environment and fisheries. Taking all of these specialties to be the "marine sciences", the editors and authors attempt a more holistic approach to oceanic history than has so far been attempted.
