and to promote and protect the interests and welfare of the American Merchant Marine".

it's founding in 1946, members have supported each other's interests and

on the information to others in our field.
Membership
is open to persons involved in the maritime industries and meeting all
the requirements outlined in the Societies By-Laws.
The
Society offers contact with all areas of the industry by interaction
within the membership itself, monthly technical meetings, a yearly

dinner dance. In addition all members are able to apply for
student loans through our Scholarship program.
