"BEAUFORT of The Admiralty"
The Life of Sir Francis Beaufort 1774 - 1857
by Alfred Friendly 1977.
Virtually self educated, Francis Beaufort left school at 14
eventually became Hydrographer of the Navy after adventurous service in
the Napoleonic Wars. He suffered nineteen wounds capturing enemy vessels
and came near to death from a fanatic's bullet. He wrote portions of his
2000 or so letters and journals in cypher which when broken revealed his
many family problems including an incestuous relationship with his sister
over three years.
His name familiar to all yachtsmen signifies the international wind
force scale, which he first recorded in his journal in 1806.
The names from the book have been extracted by Ted WILDY in
Auckland New Zealand. July 29, 1993.
