"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.
