This volume, Oceanography: The Past, is the Proceedings of the Third Inter- national Congress on the History of Oceanography, organized under the auspices of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution at Woods Hole, Massachusetts, USA, September 22-26, 1980. The Congress is a part of the year-long celebration of the Fiftieth Anniversary of the founding of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. It will be followed by an Assembly, September 29 -October 2, in which invited speakers will address the question, ''Will we use the oceans wisely-the next SO years in oceanogra- phy? The papers from the Assembly will also be published by Springer-Verlag as Oceanography: The Present and Future, a companion volume to this book. The First International Congress on the History of Oceanography was held at the Musee Ocean graphique in Monaco, December 12-17, 1966. It coincided with the centennial of the beginning of the distinguished career of Prince Albert I as a student and patron of oceanography, for it was in 1866 that he first went to sea-on the armored frigate Tetuan of the Royal Spanish Navy. The results of this Congress were published as 57 papers in the Bulletin de l'Institut Oceanogra- phique (special no. 2, vols. 1-3, pp. XLII + 807, 1968).
