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 1870 volume was the thirty-ninth and last to
be edited by Rear-Admiral Becher, whose brief postscript highlights
improvements in charts and the installation of lightning conductors
as important achievements, and remarks that the magazine's 'efforts
for the improvement of all that concerns the seaman's benefit' have
been a labour of love. The volume devotes much space to the newly
opened Suez Canal. Australia, Canada and the Mediterranean also
feature, and there are ethnographic articles on the peoples of
Polynesia and West Africa. The volume also contains an obituary of
Charles Dickens and a lively article on the University Boat Race.
