Charleston Port and Seafarers' Society
The Charleston Port and Seafarers' Society is a Christian organization dedicated to welcoming and serving the needs of seafarers visiting the port of Charleston, regardless of nationality, race, ethnicity, politics, or religion. Established in 1821, it has been providing support for over 200 years, focusing on the unique challenges faced by these individuals who spend long periods away from home.
Each year, more than 65,000 seafarers from diverse backgrounds arrive on vessels at the Charleston Port. The organization operates three Seafarers Centers at key terminals, offering religious materials, internet access, and free transportation to local shopping and attractions, ensuring that visiting seafarers feel supported and connected during their time in port.
