In 1886 he founded the eponymous Naval Annual which brought together expert articles on naval developments. ... ... NOTE that as the two volumes together weigh some 1.5kg there will be a carriage supplement for overseas (but not domestic UK) orders, the exact amount depending on destination and form of carriage.
