SoCal is the largest, and most active, chapter of the Steamship Historical Society of America (SSHSA): the premier organization for all engine-powered ships.

​

If you are a ship buff, maritime collector, or artist, former or current ship crew member, historian, or Navy veteran, SSHSA-SoCal is the place for you!

​

SoCal members meet up onboard the Queen Mary in Long Beach, California at least four times a year: the first Saturday of February, May, August, and November. (We even take field trips.)

​

Our November gathering is also our annual membership meeting where we elect the SoCal Chapter Board.

​

Enjoy our speakers, make new friends, complete your collection with our finds table. All are welcome!

​

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