There was an orange tree that developed a deformation in the fruit, so that it would not bear seeds. It was a complete accident, but now the naval orange is very popular. It is only grown from clippings, because the fruit has no seeds.

Are naval oranges seedless?

Naval Oranges are indeed seedless. The naval end of a naval orange is a "conjoined" twin making the whole orange sterile as soon as the flower starts to fruit. Thus not making any seeds. Also the only way to grow a naval orange tree is by grafting a naval orange branch onto another citrus tree, or from growing a plant from a naval orange root stock.

How did it come about that the English who grow no oranges developed a tradition for orange marmalade almost unknown in the countries that do grow oranges?

The English occupied a lot of countries where oranges grew, but it was hard to transport these oranges back to England without a lot of spoilage. The oranges that started to rot while underway, where cooked up with sugar and put into jars, which could be kept longer.
