Ship History

Through recording, preserving, and educating, the mission of the Steamship Historical Society of America is to share the impact of engine-powered vessels, their crews, and their passengers with future generations.

Based at the Ship History Center in Rhode Island, SSHSA has opened their library and archive of photographs, ephemera, artifacts, models, and maritime art to the public through research, tours, lectures, and more. Our quarterly magazine PowerShips connects our members as well as enthusiasts worldwide with bright pages of feature articles and news of the shipping world.
