Society for Nautical Research

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.
