Introduction
The introduction to this investigation of the Admiralty in the World War 1-era, is found in what is now Part 2 - Development of Admiralty Organisation 1913-1920.
The
hope was that the organisation - the chain of command -
of the Admiralty would follow naturally, but this has
proved to be far more difficult than originally
envisaged. I have found that just appreciating the
functions and establishments is hard enough.
This
new Part 1 is designed to help do this by
presenting two sets of lists from the August 1914 of
"The Navy List" and a chart from a 1914 edition of "The
Naval Review". For permission to publish the latter, I
am grateful to Roger Welby-Everard, Assistant Editor
(Online)
Any
transcription and proofing errors are mine.

ADDRESSES

(Source: "The Navy List", August 1914, pp XV-XXII)
The original list, where this has not already done, has been grouped by locations in the British Isles and also into naval activities, weapons etc. The list is assumed to cover all main home establishments. Although the information says little about the organisation of the Royal Navy, it is a helpful way to start to appreciate the scope of the Admiralty's functions and and their location in the UK (map following).
Following
are a series of excellent Charts, copyright Stanford's

3. CHART OF THE COMPONENTS OF THE BRITISH ADMIRALTY AND ROYAL NAVY IN 1914
(Source: "The Naval Review", Volume 4, 1914)
This chart is taken from a 1914
article, "The Science of Organisation", author not known. He uses
one of the then latest theories of organisation, and identifies
seven functions that are applicable to the individual man as well
as the organisation:
Intellectual, the apprehension of
truth; Moral - of justice; Aesthetic - of beauty; Emotional - of
love; Vital - nutrition; Physical - safety of movement; Genetic -
reproduction.
He applies these to such examples
as an analysis of fire control, work of a torpedo lieutenant,
engine room problems, as well as the structure of the Admiralty. I
doubt this theory of organisation lasted very long as management
science developed so quickly in succeeding years, but the
resulting Admiralty chart is the most comprehensive I have
discovered. It mainly lists functions and establishments rather
than organisation and structure i.e. naval and civilian chain of
command. Also the components sometimes fit uncomfortably within
the theory's seven functions, but as a picture of the Admiralty
and Royal Navy at the time, it is invaluable, and must have been a
labour of love.
In the author's own words:
In the author's own words:
"Plate 3 (below
- click to enlarge) is a chart of the Navy, showing an
analysis of the present organisation, by the method of the science
of organisation. The chart has been made as accurate as the data
available would permit.
"Under intellectual is placed the Board of Admiralty and some of the departments; educational and instructional organisations, publishing departments, etc. Under moral is put Chaplain's Department, legal courts, prisons, etc. Under aesthetic comes musical organisation ; under emotional comes social and charitable institutions, prizes and testimonials, etc. Under vital is put all matters dealing with finance, constructive departments, supplies, medical department, hospitals, etc. Under physical we place political organisation, fleets and personnel. And finally under genetic is placed the recruiting organisation, and matters distinctively male, female and juvenile."
