[1] The magazine, which focused on Seattle, Portland, Tacoma, Vancouver, Victoria, San Francisco, and other ports in the North Pacific Ocean, aimed to cover marine affairs impartially, without preference for any particular port.

[3] The magazine was published by the newly organized Pacific Marine Review Company, which was housed at 1311 Third Avenue in Seattle.

[5] At the time of the first publication, regional newspapers, including The Seattle Post-Intelligencer and The Vancouver Province, complimented the Pacific Marine Review for its illustrations, "handsome design," and quality of editing.

[11] By 1940, Pacific Marine Review's paid circulation decreased to 3,050, and the publisher lowered the subscription price to $1.50.

[12] By 1950, the subscription price was back at $2, and the magazine's headquarters moved again, this time to 580 Market Street.
