The Naval Annual provided considerable text and graphic information (largely concerning the British Royal Navy) which had previously been obtainable only by consulting a wide range of often foreign language publications. It was started by Thomas Brassey, 1st Earl Brassey in 1886. The Brassey series began a dozen years earlier, and its special strength was the dozen or more detailed articles on naval matters, authored by experts. They covered British and other nations' naval developments ranging from the latest ships to overall policy. Among the contributors are: E. J. Wyndham, B. T. Wilson, Robert Saundby, Anthony Sokol, Michael Banks, Foxley-Norris, H. E. Horan, Lawrance Darvall Richard Goold-Adams, B. B. Schofield, Bernard Brodie, Rupert Hay, C. M. Desoutter, H. B. C.
