In practice this meant that ships often sailed with inadequate information for safe navigation, and that when new areas were surveyed, the data rarely reached all those who needed it. The <a href="/wiki/British_Admiralty" class="mw-redirect" title="British Admiralty">Admiralty</a> appointed <a href="/wiki/Alexander_Dalrymple" title="Alexander Dalrymple">Alexander Dalrymple</a> as hydrographer on 12 August 1795, with a remit to gather and distribute charts to HM Ships. Within a year existing charts had been collated, and the first catalogue published. It was five years before the first chart—of <a href="/wiki/Quiberon_Bay" title="Quiberon Bay">Quiberon Bay</a> in <a href="/wiki/Brittany" title="Brittany">Brittany</a>—was produced by the Hydrographer.<sup id="cite_ref-UKHO_timeline_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-UKHO_timeline-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Under Dalrymple's successor, Captain <a href="/wiki/Thomas_Hurd" title="Thomas Hurd">Thomas Hurd</a>, Admiralty charts were sold to the general public, and by 1825, there were 736 charts listed in the catalogue. In 1829, the first <a href="/wiki/Sailing_Directions" title="Sailing Directions">Sailing Directions</a> were published, and in 1833, under Rear-Admiral Sir <a href="/wiki/Francis_Beaufort" title="Francis Beaufort">Francis Beaufort</a>—of the eponymous <a href="/wiki/Beaufort_scale" title="Beaufort scale">Beaufort scale</a>—the <a href="/wiki/Tide_table" title="Tide table">tide tables</a> were first published. <a href="/wiki/Notices_to_Mariners" class="mw-redirect" title="Notices to Mariners">Notices to Mariners</a> came out in 1834, allowing for the timely correction of charts already in use. Beaufort was certainly responsible for a step change in output; by the time he left the office in 1855, the Hydrographic Office had a catalogue of nearly 2,000 charts and was producing over 130,000 charts, of which about half were provided to the Royal Navy and half sold.<sup id="cite_ref-UKHO_timeline_1-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-UKHO_timeline-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In 1939, on the outbreak of <a href="/wiki/World_War_II" title="World War II">World War II</a>, the Hydrographic Office moved to <a href="/wiki/Taunton" title="Taunton">Taunton</a>, and the post of hydrographer moved with it. In 2001, a chief executive was appointed to run the <a href="/wiki/United_Kingdom_Hydrographic_Office" title="United Kingdom Hydrographic Office">United Kingdom Hydrographic Office</a> as a profit-making agency of the British government, and at this time the roles of National Hydrographer and Hydrographer of the Navy were divided.<sup id="cite_ref-UKHO_timeline_1-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-UKHO_timeline-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The title of hydrographer devolved to Captain (hydrography and meteorology), a senior officer on the staff of the Commodore of the <a href="/wiki/Devonport_Flotilla" class="mw-redirect" title="Devonport Flotilla">Devonport Flotilla</a>, and the senior Royal Navy officer within the HM branch.
