The Nautical Magazine for 1832

Omtale

The Nautical Magazine, published monthly from 1832, covers subjects including navigation, oceanography, meteorology, exploration, trade, technology and maritime safety. This reflected the interests of hydrographer Francis Beaufort (1774–1857), the commander of founding editor A. B. Becher (1796–1876). Volume 1 outlines the magazine's distinctive aims, and introduces its major themes.
