Articles for possible publication should be sent to the Editors, Maritime Wales, Gwynedd Archives Service, Council Offices, Caernarfon, Gwynedd LL55 1SH. |
| 2 |
Articles can be in Welsh or English with an English summary in the case of a Welsh text. |
| 3 |
Articles may be up to 8000 words or short notes up to 1000 words and should be submitted as two typed copies double-spaced with wide margins and on disk (preferably Windows 3.1, 9X, 2000, XP). |
| 4 |
Any illustrations should preferably be in black and white and any maps or drawings need to be twice the size or more of the size to be reproduced. Our budget does not allow for pull-out spreads.
Captions should be on the disk with the main text and also a copy with the illustration. Any acknowledgement should be included in brackets. |
| 5 |
Any copyright matters or reproduction rights must be cleared by the author. |
| 6 |
References should be given according to the 'Harvard system' if possible i.e. the author's name and date of publication are placed between brackets in the main body of the text and the detailed reference is located at the end of the article with the authors listed in alphabetical order. For example McKee E. Working Boats of Britain, London 1983 would be the main reference and the text reference would be (McKee1990). A reference to an article in a journal would need to give the title of the article in quotation marks, the name of the journal in italics, its volume number, place of publication, date and page numbers. Note that titles of books and articles should be in italics. |

The traditional footnotes as in earlier volumes are acceptable but will be phased out over the next few volumes in favour of the system outlined in paragraph 6. |

Authors should take note of the following house style points:
- All ship names must be in italics or underlined to indicate italics.
- Abbreviations e.g. HMS or J Smith do not have full stops.
- Welsh versions of place names are preferred to English ones.
- Measurements should be in feet and inches with the metric equivalent in brackets where possible.
- Numbers under 100 should be written as words except in tables and measurements e.g. four ships but 4 feet 2 inches.
- All paragraphs should be indented and sub-headings should be in bold.
- Dates should be written without punctuation.
