Description
The Nautical Magazine first appeared in 1832, and was published monthly well into the twenty-first century.
It covers a wide range of subjects, including navigation, meteorology, technology and safety.
An important resource for maritime historians, it also includes reports on military and scientific expeditions and on current affairs.
The 1872 volume, the second in the 'new series', begins by stating the journal's updated editorial policy: it will now include a regular digest of recent maritime law cases and other official news.
Part 1 (January-June) reports on the meetings of learned societies, and scientific matters including health and steam power.
It contains serialised essays on the propulsion of ancient galleys, and on the structures of the British constitution and government.
It also discusses aspects of trade, commercial disputes and insurance, and lifesaving and its cost.
A new departure is the inclusion of colourful stories, 'yarns' and ballads.
