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 1836 volume shows gradual changes in the
structure of individual issues, with 'Naval Chronicle' appearing as
a section heading from July onwards, in a font closely resembling
the title page of that earlier periodical (also reissued in the
Cambridge Library Collection). It contains reports of the loss of a
convict ship and ensuing discussion of conditions on convict and
emigrant ships, and comments on a new tonnage bill affecting the
registration and taxation of ships. Other topics covered include
steam power, lighthouse and harbour construction, courts martial,
wreckers in France and a description of the Jagannath temple in
Orissa.
