From Baird Maritime:

"Hydro International", is the trade magazine of the world hydrographic industry. It is focused, professional and, naturally, truly global.

What might, at first, appear to be a dreary and highly technical subject is actually made lively and interesting in many of the magazine's pages. Of those, though, undoubtedly the most fascinating have been these historical vignettes or essays.

They cover hydrography, of course, but also oceanography, cartography and a lot of maritime history.

This facsimile collection from the best of "Hydro International" is a great read.
