Argonauta

Argonauta is a quarterly publication of the Society (ISSN 2291-5427). Besides serving as the CNRS newsletter, it also provides a place for articles less formal than those which would appear in The Northern Mariner. Contributions may be sent by e-mail to the editor Erika Behrisch.

It is also the best place for queries and small research notes; for example:
