DESCRIPTION:

Sir Francis Beaufort, the Beaufort wind force scale inventor, was born on May 27, 1774. His device measures wind force without the use of special instruments. He created it while serving as a Royal Navy officer on HMS Woolwich in 1805. The Beaufort Scale was used in shipping forecasts for England and adapted for international use in 1874. Today it is used by the Netherlands, Germany, China, Malta, Greece, and Taiwan.

Though other methods of measuring wind were devised years prior, Sir Beaufort standardized it to capture wind speeds of 22 knots to 64 knots.
