About SSHSA
To Record, Preserve, and Disseminate the History of Engine Powered Vessels
The Steamship Historical Society of America is a non-profit organization with a growing membership base of more than 2100 people worldwide. Our mission is that we are dedicated to recording, preserving, and distributing information of and about the history of engine powered vessels. Simply put, we strive to be the most comprehensive power ship history resource for education, information, and research purposes. Although "Steamship" is our firstname, we welcome any and all maritime enthusiasts, professional or amatuer historians, and nautical buffs. Membership applications are processed throughout the entire year.
