The Manxman - the three-legged magazine

Published 1911-1914 during the summer months (May, June, July & August)- aimed at the tourist trade and in particular at the passengers on the IoMSPCo ferries. Issue #16 (Sepember 1914) was effectively the last, though a reduced sized 17th issue appeared in 1923.

Editor was Liverpool based T. E. Edwardes, who had published a similar paper, The Tourist, between 1897-1900 from which more than a few of the items were re-cycled.

The illustrated cover was by William A Bradley, each issue consisted of 32 pages, well illustrated, with the majority of articles relating to the IoMSPCo.
