Mariner's Mirror

 

December 1910 saw the holding of the first meeting of a new organisation: The Society for Nautical Research.

Its first two objects were:

  1. To encourage research into nautical anitquities, into matters relating to seafaring and shipbuilding in all ages and among all nations, into the language and customs of the sea, and into other subjects of nautical interest.
  2. For this purpose to publish monthly a Journal, to be called Mariner's Mirror, such Journal to contain original articles, notes and queries, pictures and drawings, and generally to serve as a medium of inter-communication between members of the Society.

In January 1911 there appeared the first issue of Mariner's Mirror, which over the many years has contained many articles about, or mentioning, Captain Cook.
Here is a complete list.
My thanks to John Robson, who got me going, and to John Allan who greatly encouraged and helped in this enterprise.
