    Did You Know...?

    The inaugural meeting of the Liverpool Nautical Research Society was held on 11 April 1938 in the Accountants' Hall, Fenwick Street Liverpool.  The Society's chief aims were to encourage interest in Liverpool's maritime history and to help preserve "a maritime epoch."

    The Liverpool Nautical Research Society has a long-standing and close relationship with the Merseyside Maritime Museum, and our members continue to meet in the Maritime Archives and Library at 10.30am every Monday (except Bank Holidays).

    The Liverpool Nautical Research Society holds monthly talks by members and distinguished guest speakers covering a wide range of maritime topics at The Athenaeum, 18 Church Alley, Liverpool L1 3DD, usually on the third Thursday of each month from September through to May at 12 midday for 12.30pm.  Talks are open to members and invited guests only.

    Membership of the Liverpool Nautical Research Society costs as little as £15 per year (£20 for couples and overseas members).  Members receive the quarterly 'Bulletin' and are entitled to attend nine monthly talks at The Athenaeum, Liverpool, free of charge.

    Members are entitled to receive the quarterly Bulletin in both print and digital editions.  From April 2020, members who choose to receive the digital edition only will qualify for a discount on their annual subscription.  Full details can be found on the membership page.

    The Liverpool Nautical Research Society has more than 200 active members.  While many live in the Liverpool area, others are to be found throughout the United Kingdom and the rest of Europe, and some as far afield as Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the United States of America.

    The Liverpool Nautical Research Society's subscription year runs from 1st April until 31st March of the following year, but for anyone joining on or after 1st January, their first subscription covers the period until 31st March of the following year, without extra cost.  Members are encouraged to subscribe by Standing Order to ensure continuity of benefits.

    Much of the Liverpool Nautical Research Society's archive is available to view on this website free of charge, but the full range of material is available only to members.

    Each Society member has a unique website username but can also login using their ordinary email address if they prefer, provided they have informed us of that address.

    You can download The Bulletin to read off-line on your PC, tablet or phone, or add it to your Kindle library.
