Discover Ship History with SSHSA!

​

The Steamship Historical Society of America is the premier organization for all engine-powered ships, with the Southern California Chapter its largest and most active branch.

​

​Benefits of a SSHSA-Southern California Chapter membership include quarterly social meetings held aboard the legendary RMS Queen Mary, with programs on both historic and current maritime subjects.

SoCal's quarterly programs are held on the first Saturday of February, May, August, and November aboard the Queen Mary, and via Zoom.

​

The November program coincides with our annual membership meeting where directors are elected to the chapter board.

​

If you have a topic you'd like to present to our membership, we'd love to hear it!

The Ocean Times, SoCal's e-journal, is published quarterly, and offers the reader a variety of West Coast and Pacific Ocean-related* maritime topics penned by chapter members, and others.

​

*Ok, we're not total snobs; we do allow the occasional transatlantic liner. After all, we do meet on the Queen Mary.

​

For news that can't wait, we send out the OT News.

​​

If you have a topic that may be of interest to our membership, please drop the editor a line.
