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 1839 volume includes coverage of the
competition for the design of a Nelson memorial. It reveals that
the editor was unimpressed with the shortlist and strongly disliked
the eventual winner, which still stands in Trafalgar Square. Other
topics include naval promotions, births, marriages and deaths, a
short history of Antarctic exploration timed to coincide with the
departure of the Ross expedition, reports of anti-slavery measures,
and analysis of steamship accidents and their causes. The volume
also continues the editor's campaign for lightning conductors on
board all Navy vessels, a measure finally implemented in 1869, and
provides information about new lighthouses.
