This paper aims to demonstrate institutional characters of the Board of Longitude for the purpose of examining the relationship between science and policty in the 18th century Britain. The Board as a scientific institution had close relations with two public bodies: the Parliament and Royal Navy. The Parliament financed the Board and rarely intervened into or controlled their activities. Nevertheless, the determinations which parliament made were obviously priority to the Board's, accordingly only through the parlimentary act its reorganization could be carried out. Several scientific actiivties of the Board were operated for the service of the Royal Navy; introducing newly invented methos for finding longitude. It si well known that until the second half of the 19th century, British government seldom patronized scientific activities and organizations. The example of the Board presents that from second half of the 18the century on, however the state had put huge money into scientific projects related to navigation.
