Matthew F. Maury
(Godfather of Oceanography)
From ... The Physical Geography of the Seas and Its Meteorology, 1855 ...

Matthew Fontaine Maury

Maury—Matthew Fontaine Maury—was born in 1806 in Fairfax just north of Richmond, ... in this one-time capitol, Maury was the “pathfinder of the seas,” not only a competent navy man but a hero of Commerce and the creator of Oceanography. ...

In the Physical Geometry of the Sea, which in ’55 outsold it seems even Shakespeare, (Maury) that it was Psalm 8:8, “the birds of the air, the fish of the sea, whatever passes along the paths of the seas,” that provided the spark to his intellectual fire, for at that time he realized that God, though seated in heaven, had left His mark elsewhere, too.
