This comprehensive dictionary of maritime terminology was first published in 1813 and designed as a reference work for shipbuilders and navigators. It was compiled by the naval historian William Burney and presented a revised and expanded version of the classic Universal Marine Dictionary originally published in 1769 by the poet and lexicographer William Falconer (1732–89). The dictionary with over 800 pages presents technical data on shipbuilding, navigation, the operation of ships, weaponry, and provisions, as well as historical, legal, and medical information.
