Study on the history of technology has its own history. In the earliest days, technology was looked upon as a gift from mythological world by gods. With the advance in natural sciences in 18th Century, history of technology changed into a complex body of sequences of inventions and findings. The beginning of 20th Century was marked by finding the importance of economic influences on the history of technology. After the World War II, the intrinsic laws of development of technology attracted attention and a radical transition from the externalist view to the internalist view is now taking place. The study on the intrinsic laws of development needs naturally a close cooperation of specialists of technology with historians. The increasing efforts of scientific and technological societies including MESJ, JSME and others are due results of such transition in the view on the history of technology.<BR>This paper gives a brief description of the study on marine engineering history in Japan by MESJ. The study is hoped to contribute to the future development of marine engineering in Japan as well as in now developing countries by giving insight into the mechanism of technological develop-ments.
