The Nore Review

Richard Wakeley, aged 12, Perm Cottage, Nore Road, Portishead, near Bristol, produces The Nore Review which he writes and illustrates, distributing carbon copies on foolscap paper to readers.

In December he wrote to Cdr. Bevan "The profits (subscriptions and contributions from readers) are now nearing the zos. mark. When I reach that amount I will send it to you, probably in a month or two's time." The December issue of The Nore Review (Vol. 3 No. 3) includes an article on "Launching a Ship" (with diagrams), a serial story, and No. 3 in a foreign port series on Piraeus. An earlier issue included an article on the 48' 6" prototype lifeboat with diagrams explaining the self-righting mechanism..
