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 1838 volume, the second of the 'new series',
reports the official plan for the voyage of the Astrolabe and the
Zelee, scheduled to depart that September to 'the Antarctic Pole',
and the ongoing third voyage of H.M.S. Beagle, to Australia.
Alongside regular items on wrecks, harbours and lighthouses, naval
personnel, and law proceedings, the coronation of Queen Victoria is
briefly mentioned. Other contributions include an article on
Icelandic geysers by John Barrow, instructions for preserving plant
specimens, descriptions of Pitcairn Island, poisonous serpents,
pirates and mutiny, and an energetic polemic against animal
magnetism and homeopathy.
