This is a report by the Commissioners to the House of Commons regarding harbors of refuge, presented in pursuance of an address dated March 6th, 1845. The document provides insight into the state of maritime infrastructure in Great Britain during the mid-19th century, focusing on the necessity and strategic placement of harbors designed to offer safe haven for ships during storms and emergencies. The report details considerations related to cost, engineering, and the potential economic benefits of constructing and maintaining such harbors. It offers a valuable resource for researchers and historians interested in maritime history, naval strategy, and the development of British infrastructure during the Victorian era. This report is crucial for understanding the measures taken to improve maritime safety and facilitate trade in a period of significant naval and commercial expansion.
