Omtale

The Nautical Magazine, published monthly from 1832, covers subjects including navigation, oceanography, meteorology, exploration, trade, technology and maritime safety. The 1870 volume concluded Rear-Admiral Becher's tenure as founding editor; a postscript emphasises his commitment to 'the seaman's benefit'. Key articles focus on the Suez Canal, Australia, Canada and West Africa.
