Events
The Society sponsors and supports university lectures and seminars to study nautical history, often in collaboration with other societies, such as the Royal Geographical Society and the Royal Institute of Navigation.
The SNR also supports conferences, such as the annual Conference for New Researchers in Maritime History. This annual conference managed by the British Commission for Maritime History, is for those who have recently engaged in research in maritime history. Abstracts of papers presented at the 2007 conference and the call for papers for the next conference can be found on the conference page.
The SNR has also recently launched the Nelson Legacy conference series, in partnership with the 1805 Club, the Nelson Society and the Royal Naval Museum.
There are more conferences and seminars listed on our conferences and seminars pages.The Society's annual lecture is a major event in the Society's year. For members and their guests, there is the annual dinner on board HMS Victory in Portsmouth.
