The Tide Predicters

    Small teams of nineteenth-century scientists worked out how to predict tides. About sixteen main scientists marshalled over five hundred field workers. With their field of interest the ocean, they spread across the whole globe to study the tides' different phenomenon. Consequently, their manuscripts survive in archives as far apart as Washington DC to India. Yet as this science is principally a British undertaking, the bulk of manuscripts languish in Taunton, London, Cambridge, Liverpool and Glasgow repositiories.
