Tide records for Brisbane from 30.12.1907 to 1.1.1909.

The first scientific tide recordings were measured using instruments developed in the UK in 1831 with Henry Palmer's tide gauge being the first practical example of a self-recording machine. Since 1833 the UK Admiralty has maintained continuous records of tides across the globe, but especially of the coastal tides of the British Isles.
