History
of the Beaufort scale
It's often said that Francis Beaufort, of the British Royal
Navy, was the first to devise a scale of wind force, towards
the start of the 19th century. You might be surprised to learn
that he was not, in fact, the originator of such a scale.
A similar one was actually in use at least a century earlier
- and probably long before that.
