| Summary | "A Naval Expositor: Shewing and Explaining the Words and Terms of Art…" by Thomas Riley Blanckley is a reference book on naval terminology written in the early 18th century. This work serves as a comprehensive guide, detailing the language specific to the design, construction, and operation of ships, along with the duties of naval officers. Its essence lies in providing clarifications on the various terms associated with shipbuilding and maritime operations. The opening of this publication introduces the reader to a meticulous arrangement of nautical terminology, ranging from the structural elements of a ship, such as the keel and mast, to the various components involved in rigging and anchoring. Each term is carefully defined, often with supplementary details about its function and application within naval contexts. This rich lexicon lays the foundation for understanding naval engineering and operations, and it caters to shipbuilders, sailors, and those involved in naval governance during the period.
