(More customer reviews)This is the best general magazine dealing with ships that I have seen. I have been a subscriber since 1974, and unlike many publications, it has significantly improved with time. All contemporary ships are illistrated with color photographs, most of which are sufficitly large to provide a good view. Many of the historical photos are also in color; however, good quality black and white ones are provided for those subjects that preceded color photography.
A reasonable variety of topics are covered; although the emphasis is on Europe. There are also occasional features on U. S. subjects. My only complaint is that passenger ships tend to receive more than what I consider to be the space they deserve, thereby short-changing the great variety of other fascinating ships, both military and commercial. The articles are well-written, and the authors appear to be knowledgeable with respect to their subjects. In a number of cases, I wished the articles were longer because they were so good, and I wanted to read more.
Given that Europe is currently the world's center of maritime technology and innovation, the Euro-centric slant of the magazine is a stength. I highly recommend SHIPS MONTHLY to anyone with more than a casual interest in ships and shipping.
