Cet article met en lumière les voix oubliées des sciences maritimes à bord de deux laboratoires flottants des débuts de l’océanographie : le HMS Challenger dans les années 1870 et les yachts océanographiques du prince Albert Ier de Monaco des années 1880 à 1920. À l’aide de journaux de bord, de carnets d’observation, de correspondances personnelles et de journaux, il révèle la contribution essentielle des marins, des techniciens de laboratoire, des photographes et des illustrateurs – notamment des femmes et des personnes de couleur – au développement de la compréhension scientifique des océans. Redonner à ces acteurs la place qui leur revient dans l’histoire contribue également au débat continu sur la production du savoir et de l’autorité scientifiques.
