Although the founding and evolution of the Liverpool Nautical College (LNC) is the focus of the article, the discussion is more extensive. One dimension is the development of nautical education and the training of masters and mates in the British merchant marine from the second quarter of the 19th century to the last quarter of the 20th century. Another is the conflict between the ideal of broadly educated seafarers and the narrower view prevailing in the industry emphasizing the importance of training in the skills of seamanship and navigation. The success of the LNC as a "cramming" school preparing candidates for the government master's and mate's examinations is contrasted to the failure of its experiment in running advanced educational courses for seafarers. The educational ideal did prevail in the third quarter of the 20th century, however, leading to undergraduate and postgraduate courses, ironically catering mainly to maritime-related industry ashore.
