The National Maritime Historical Society’s (NMHS) mission is to raise awareness of the nation’s maritime heritage and the role seafaring has played in shaping civilization – through publications, educational programs and maritime conferences, partnerships, and outreach events. Supported by roughly 7,000 members, NMHS has a budget of around $1M, 7 staff, and is governed by a 23-person Board of Trustees. The office is headquartered in Peekskill, New York.
