The Tide Predicters

Small teams of nineteenth-century scientists worked out how to predict tides. Sixteen scientists marshalled about five hundred field workers. With their field the ocean itself, they spread across the 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 British, the bulk of them languish in Taunton, London, Cambridge, Liverpool and Glasgow.
