Shipboard newspapers [fwd from H. Zenk]

[Terry Glavin]

it seems to me that the royal engineers had a shipboard newspaper on their
voyage round cape horn to victoria in the 1850s, and i seem to remember that
another ship, perhaps the robert lowe,  a "brideship" that brought young
englishwomen to victoria, may also have had one. but there certainly were
such things - quite separate and apart from ship's logs - will poke around
for references.
