Society for Nautical Research
The Society for Nautical Research was founded in 1910 by Charles Napier Robinson to promote the academic field of maritime history in the United Kingdom.
The aims of the society [1] were 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.
The society celebrated its centenary in 2010 [2]
