Naval architecture and the ship design process provide useful windows into the cultures of authority and expertise at the British Admiralty. Naval architecture was a complex field of theory and practice that underwent a number of changes in the nineteenth century, from the technical to the professional. It was also a highly contested and controversial subject, in which practitioners from the naval service to civilian engineering sought authority. This article provides a survey of naval architecture, authority and expertise, before proceeding to two case studies that reveal important changes to the boundaries of technical expertise in the ship design process in the late Victorian and Edwardian Admiralty.
