Society for Nautical Research
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Society for Nautical Research was founded in 1910 to promote the academic field of maritime history in the United Kingdom.
The aims of the society are to:
- support and encourage research in maritime history and underwater archaeology.
- publish the pre-eminent academic journal for maritime history, The Mariner's Mirror.
- sponsor events and conferences
- purchase art and artifacts for the National Maritime Museum, which the Society helped to found.
- fund special projects, such as the preservation of HMS Victory, one of the original aims of the society at its foundation.
