THE AUSTRALIAN

SHIPMASTER'S GUIDE;

A HANDBOOK OF

NOTE.

A new feature has been added to "THE AUSTRALIAN
SHIPMASTERS' GUIDE," whilst the sheets were passing
through the press, which it is hoped will still further
increase its utility. "The Mercantile Navy List, 1858,"
and the new 66
Commercial Code of Signals for the Use of
all Nations"-both books published under the authority of
the Board of Trade-were received in the interim; from
them was compiled

A LIST OF ALL VESSELS REGISTERED AS BELONGING TO
PORTS IN THE COLONY OF VICTORIA, THEIR

TONNAGE, OFFICIAL NUMBERS AND SIGNAL LETTERS,

according to the new Code," which there is little reason to doubt will shortly become universal.

toucheth them; but rather like sea marks, to guide from shipwreck
the ignorant passenger."-SIR PHILIP SIDNEY.
