Pacific Marine Review was an American monthly magazine published from 1904 to 1950 dedicated to marine and shipping news.[1] The magazine aimed to cover marine affairs in Seattle, Portland, Tacoma, Vancouver, Victoria, San Francisco and other ports on the North Pacific Ocean impartially, without preference for any particular port.[4]

History

Pacific Marine Review was established in Seattle, Washington on April 1, 1904.[3] The magazine was published by the newly organized Pacific Marine Review Company with offices on 1311 Third Ave. in Seattle.[5] At the time of the first publication, regional newspapers, including The Seattle Post-Intelligencer and The Vancouver Province complimented Pacific Marine Review for its illustrations, "handsome design," and the quality of editing.[6][7] During the next nine years, the magazine's paid circulation reached 1,500.[8] On April 1913, the magazine was sold to James S. Hines, a publisher from San Francisco.[9]

The new home of Pacific Marine Review became 24 California St. in San Francisco.[9] The new publisher has lowered subscription price from $3[10] to $2[9] and almost doubled the magazine's paid circulation which reached 2255 by 1914.[9] By 1930, the magazine's headquarters moved to 576 Sacramento St, and its paid circulation reached 3473.[11] The subscription price remained at $2, the advertising rates varied from $100 to $160 per page.[11]

By 1940, Pacific Marine Review paid circulation decreased to 3050, and the publisher lowered the subscription price to $1.50.[12] By 1950, the subscription price was back at $2, the magazine's headquarters moved again, this time to 580 Market St., and the paid circulation peaked at 4083[2] The December issue of 1950 became the last in the magazine's history.[1]
