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 1867 volume features numerous pieces of verse
about the disasters of the previous year, including the wreck of
the London and a fire at the Crystal Palace. It describes
hurricanes, an iceberg collision, volcanic eruptions and a tsunami,
as well as a fatal shipwreck in Cornwall that inspired the funding
of a lifeboat. It also reports on a yacht race from New York to
Cowes, the aftermath of the Jamaican rebellions, a route to China
via the Irrawaddy River and the discovery of a mid-ocean ridge in
the Pacific, suggesting the possibility of laying a submarine cable
to Honolulu.
