Abstract This article examines sonic forms of protest aboard British naval ships between 1756 and 1815. During this period, naval seamen murmured, muttered, cheered, hissed and chattered as they congregated below and above deck. These sounds required constant interpretation on the part of officers, and a failure to do so correctly could have severe consequences. Maritime labourers, this article finds, well understood the potential ambiguity of shipboard soundscapes as well as the acousmatic potential of the ship as a built environment, which they used to their advantage through a careful manipulation of space and sound. I analyse the orchestration of the communal soundscapes which seamen created, and consider the specific shipboard spaces in which these sounds were made from and projected to. In placing these sounds in their spatial and social contexts, it is possible to glimpse an alternative order on British naval vessels, and to better understand cultures of sonic protest during the long eighteenth century.

皇家海军舰艇上的空间、声音和骚乱，1756-1815 年

摘要 本文考察了 1756 年至 1815 年期间英国海军舰艇上的抗议声波形式。在此期间，海军海员在甲板上下聚集时发出喃喃自语、喃喃自语、欢呼雀跃、嘶嘶声和喋喋不休的声音。这些声音需要军官不断地解释，如果不正确地这样做可能会产生严重的后果。本文发现，海事劳工非常了解船上声景的潜在模糊性以及船舶作为建筑环境的声学潜力，他们通过仔细操纵空间和声音来利用这些优势。我分析了海员创造的公共音景的编排，并考虑了这些声音产生和投射到的特定船上空间。
