About this title

Synopsis

A gripping, fact-filled portrait of a naval career that spans three nations and a groundbreaking Amazon survey.

This edition chronicles Rear Admiral Tucker’s rise, his command in Peru, and the ambitious hydrographic work that opened inland waterways.

From his arrival in Lima to lead a mixed fleet, the narrative follows his hard-fighting discipline, strategic planning, and the trust he earned from governments and officers alike. It also covers his time surveying the Upper Amazon, the challenges of navigating unknown rivers, and the creation of a dedicated hydrographic commission.

Learn how Tucker earned respect as a capable seaman and reform-minded leader.
See the strategic thinking behind aligning allied fleets and planning for long-distance operations.
Explore the challenges of river navigation, exploration trips, and the logistics of outfitting a expedition on the Amazon.
Understand how a single voyage influenced plans for better communication between Peru’s coast and its interior.

Ideal for readers of naval history and riverine exploration, this book offers a vivid glimpse into mid-19th-century maritime strategy and Amazon exploration.
