Fifty years ago the Society for Nautical Research played a significant role in helping to salvage Brunel's Great Britain from the Falkland Islands and to ensure it could return to the UK to be preserved. It is therefore highly appropriate that we have teamed up with the SS Great Britain Trust to celebrate the event with a conference on 'Connecting The Oceans: The Impact of Global Steam in the Nineteenth Century'. This builds on the success of the Society's earlier conference in 2017 and promises to be an excellent occasion. Further details can be found on the society's website or at the back of this issue.
