National Maritime Historical Society

The National Maritime Historical Society (NMHS) is a non-profit organization in USA devoted to historical ship preservation and maritime education. It publishes Sea History, a quarterly magazine.

According to its website, "The National Maritime Historical Society seeks to educate Americans, especially our youth, about the nation's extraordinary maritime accomplishments and their continuing relevance for national prosperity and cultural vitality. The National Maritime Historical Society's educational focus is on encouraging exploration of our nation's maritime heritage, supporting first-hand experiences aboard seagoing vessels and with sail training groups, highlighting the important role publications play in preserving maritime heritage, and encouraging the public to visit maritime museums. The Society collaborates with other maritime organizations, is an active sponsor of the Maritime Heritage Conferences, and is a member of the Council of American Maritime Museums." NMHS was instrumental in establishing a number of other maritime organizations, including the American Society of Marine Artists (ASMA) and the Council of American Maritime Museums (CAMM), the American Ship Trust, and the National Maritime Alliance.

The NMHS quarterly journal, SEA HISTORY, was founded by Peter Stanford in 1972. It features articles on Marine Art, both contemporary and historic; "Historic Ships on Lee Shore," which brings attention to historic ships in need, a "Sea History for Kids" section, which profiles marine and maritime professionals and "Animals in Sea History" by Richard J. King. Since 2004, the magazine has also included a regular column by Peter McCracken, founder of Serials Solutions and ShipIndex.org, titled "Maritime History on the Internet."
