Matthew Fontaine Maury has been nicknamed the “pathfinder of the seas” and the “father of modern oceanography”. This is a detailed biography of the man who created a science. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
