Edward Keble Chatterton(1878 1944) was a prolific writer who published around a hundred books, pamphlets and magazine series, mainly on maritime and naval themes. Born at number 76, Rock Street,Sheffield,England, he attendedSheffield Royal Grammar School[1]followed bySt Paul's School, then located in Hammersmith, London. He took a B.A. atSt. Stephen's House, Oxford,[2]before beginning to write theatre and art reviews for various magazines. In 1905, he editedThe Lady's Realm[3]for a number of issues. He undertook a number of small-boat voyages through theEnglish Channeland theNetherlands; out of these voyages came magazine articles[4]and books describing the passages as well as several books on the maritime art collections of the Low Countries. At the outbreak of theFirst World War, Chatterton joined theRoyal Naval Volunteer Reserve(R.N.V.R.), ultimately commanding aMotor Launchflotilla[5]at Queenstown, nowCobh, in Ireland. He describes these years inQ-Ships and their Story(1922),The Auxiliary Patrol(1924) andDanger Zone: The Story of the Queenstown Command(1934). He left the service in 1919 with the rank of Lieutenant Commander. In the inter-war years, his output was continuous, and included a series of monographs on model ships, many narrative histories of naval events, and a number of juvenile novels. Most of his books were republished in the United States and several were translated into French and German editions. A member of theRoyal Thames Yacht Clubfor many years, he carried out a multi-season voyage to the Mediterranean through the French canals. He described these in a further series of books: his journeys on theCanal de Nantes à Brestare outlined inThrough Brittany in "Charmina": From Torbay to the Bay of Biscay in a 6-Tonner(1933), journeys on theCanal du Midiare described inTo the Mediterranean in "Charmina"(1934), and journeys along theFrench Rivieraare described in"Charmina" on the Riviera(1937). After 1939, his writings focused on the conflict with Germany. Hutchinsons published a series documenting theRoyal Navyat war, which was completed byKenneth Edwardsfollowing Chatterton's death in 1944.
