Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the fascinating and largely forgotten history of the British Post Office Packet Service. The author delves into the origins of this maritime service, which began in 1688 with the establishment of mail boats to and from Spain. The book focuses on the Falmouth station, which quickly grew into the most important Packet port, and provides a detailed account of the daily life of the Packet captains, sailors, and passengers. The book also examines the tensions between the Post Office's mandate to ensure the safety of the mail and the Packet captains' own financial incentives. As the book reveals, the Packet captains were often involved in smuggling and even piracy, leading to a long history of corruption and scandals that eventually reached the halls of Parliament. The author carefully details the evolution of the Packet Service from its early days of lax administration to the eventual reforms and tightening of regulations in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. In its examination of the Packet Service, this book provides a compelling lens into the changing social and political climate of the British Isles during a period of rapid transformation. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781333926410_0
