Shipping Today & Yesterday Magazine

Since its launch in 1990, Shipping Today and Yesterday has established itself as an essential journal for anyone captivated by the scale and story of the merchant marine. The magazine famously prides itself on technical accuracy and expert storytelling, recently expanding its rich heritage by incorporating the long-standing Sea Breezes title into its pages. This union has created a powerhouse of maritime knowledge, offering readers even more detailed historical retrospectives and contemporary industry insights than ever before.

Every issue is a meticulously curated expedition through time. You might find yourself exploring the elegant lines of early 20th-century liners in one chapter, only to be transported to the deck of a high-tech modern ferry or cruise ship in the next. The publication excels at providing a balanced perspective, featuring exclusive interviews with industry professionals and contributions from former captains who share first-hand accounts of life on the ocean. Accompanied by stunning photography - both evocative black-and-white archival shots and vibrant modern imagery - the magazine brings the global shipping industry into sharp focus.

Beyond the ships themselves, the magazine explores the broader maritime world, including port developments, shipbuilding advancements, and maritime museum exhibitions. It is more than just a monthly read; it is a permanent record of our nautical journey. Discover the secrets of the sea and the ships that sail them with a Shipping Today and Yesterday magazine subscription.
