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 1845 volume has a strong focus on merchant
shipping, especially the welfare of merchant seamen and their
families. China also receives significant coverage, including a
serialised description of Shanghai. Other topics covered include
international action against the slave trade and the 'lamentable
failure' of the season's potato crop, which heralded Ireland's
Great Famine, as well as the usual Navy reports. This volume
reprints 'by request' several instalments of 'a sailor's advice to
his son' from the 1833 volume, and also describes the departure in
June of the ill-fated Franklin expedition, whose consequences were
to dominate the journal for many years.
