Early in his career at sea Beaufort's gallant record and scientific talents made him well known throughout the navy. In 1817 he published a record of his survey and exploration of the southern Turkish coast (then little known to Europeans). In 1829, at the age of 55, Beaufort became the Hydrographer of the British Admiralty, remaining so for 26 years, charting the seas to make them safe for the increasing amount of British and foreign shipping. Beaufort converted a minor chart repository into the finest surveying and charting institution in the world. Some of his excellent charts are still used, 200 years after he created them.
