“…7 The British Board of Trade supervised trade relations with other nations, enforcing the law and much of the commerce, such as that pertaining to navigation. 8 It established the first International Code of Signals in 1855 to resolve conflicts because of language issues and deal with situations of maritime safety. 9 When it began to establish rules in navigation, each nation had its own rules, which depended on the maritime capital of the country.…”

This article presents an explanation of the incorporation of on-board radio communication as a consequence of the growing concerns for maritime safety. It focuses on the economic, political and social characteristics that influenced its incorporation and evolution, and a legislative change in safety. The article demonstrates how the evolution of radio communication has been very important as the only emerging means to request and provide assistance on the high seas. In addition, the study provides evidence of the technological leap that has improved radio communication, with a new system with a high degree of reliability: the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System.

John Mitchell's Map of North America (1755): A Study of the Use and Publication of Official Maps in Eighteenth‐Century Britain

John Mitchell's famous map of North America stands as an archetype of the official publication of maps in eighteenth-century Britain. It was, however, the product of a special effort by the Earl of Halifax, president of the Board of Trade, who sought to advance his own aggressive agenda with respect to the British empire in North America in the run-up to the Seven Years' War (1756-1763, known in North America as the French and Indian War, 1755-1760), to persuade his ministerial colleagues both directly through negotiation and indirectly by manipulating public opinion. This re-evaluation of Mitchell's work concludes that its archetypal status is unwarranted. The practices that were developed by administrators in London and the colonies for commissioning, using and circulating regional maps are examined. A distinction is made between the use by officials of printed maps as sources for general geographical knowledge and of manuscript maps for knowledge specific to certain administrative issues. Then the origins of Mitchell's map are re-examined. The conclusion reached is that the map is truly innovative: it was the result of a uniquely successful solicitation of information from the colonies and its publication broke with the established patterns of map circulation and consumption.
