The Marine Society of the City of New York is a charitable and educational organization comprised entirely of seafarers, specifically Captains or Officers of merchant vessels under the United States flag. Established in colonial times and formally chartered by King George III in 1770, the Society aims to enhance maritime knowledge and provide assistance to indigent and distressed shipmasters, their widows, and orphans.
Among its notable early honorary members was President George Washington. The Society continues to uphold its mission through various events and initiatives, fostering a community dedicated to the maritime profession.
