About Us

The Liverpool Nautical Research Society was founded in 1938 to promote interest in maritime history and to help preserve Liverpool's rich maritime heritage. We changed our name to The Liverpool Maritime Society in 2022.

The Society publishes The Bulletin quarterly in both printed and digital editions and also holds monthly talks on a wide range of maritime topics at The Athenaeum, Liverpool. You can see full details on the Events page.

The Society's extensive printed archive is available to view on this website. We also have a growing library of video recordings from our monthly talks and Oral History Project which are available exclusively to members.

Did You Know...?

The inaugural meeting of the Liverpool Nautical Research Society was held on 11 April 1938 in the Accountants' Hall, Fenwick Street Liverpool. The Society's chief aims were to encourage interest in Liverpool's maritime history and to help preserve "a maritime epoch."

We changed our name to The Liverpool Maritime Society in 2022, to reflect the Society's developing range of activities and the wider scope of our members' interests.

The Liverpool Maritime Society has a long-standing and close relationship with the Merseyside Maritime Museum, and our members regularly undertake research in the Maritime Archives and Library.

The Liverpool Maritime Society holds monthly talks by members and distinguished guest speakers covering a wide range of maritime topics at The Athenaeum, 18 Church Alley, Liverpool L1 3DD, usually on the third Thursday of each month from September through to May at 12 noon for 12.30pm. Talks are open to members and invited guests only.

Our monthly talks are now permanently available as video presentations in the members' area of the website. Simply login and a new item 'Videos' will appear on the Main Menu at the top of every page.

Membership of the Liverpool Maritime Society costs as little as £20 per year for (£25 for couples and overseas members), and there are discounts for those who choose to receive the quarterly Bulletin in digital form only. In addition to the quarterly Bulletin, all members are entitled to attend nine monthly talks at The Athenaeum, Liverpool, free of charge. Full details can be found on the membership page.

Members are entitled to receive the quarterly Bulletin in both print and digital editions. Members who choose to receive the digital edition only qualify for a discount on their annual subscription. Full details can be found on the membership page.

The Liverpool Maritime Society has around 200 active members. While many live in the Liverpool area, others are to be found throughout the United Kingdom and the rest of Europe, and some as far afield as Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the United States of America.

The Liverpool Maritime Society's subscription year runs from 1st April until 31st March of the following year, but for anyone joining on or after 1st January, their first subscription covers the period until 31st March of the following year, without extra cost. Members are encouraged to subscribe by Standing Order to ensure continuity of benefits.

If you are a full-time student with an ac.uk email address, you can join the Liverpool Maritime Society for as little as £10 a year!

Much of the Liverpool Nautical Research Society's archive is available to view on this website free of charge, but the full range of material is available only to members.

Every Society member has a unique website username but can also login using their ordinary email address if they prefer, provided they have informed us of that address.

Members can change their login password and review basic account details from 'Your Account' which appears as a dropdown under 'Membership' when they are logged in.

You can download The Bulletin to read off-line on your PC, tablet or phone, or add it to your Kindle library.

Our new Oral History Project recordings are now available in the members' area of the website. Simply login and a new item 'Videos' will appear on the Main Menu at the top of every page. Listening to (and viewing) the recordings is exactly the same as for regular video presentations.

You can automatically add upcoming monthly Talks and other Society events to the calendar on your mobile phone, tablet or other device. Simply go the the Events page (main menu|Events|News) and click on the 'Subscribe' button at bottom right of the page. This will display a list of the available calendars (Google, Outlook, etc). Select the type used on your device and follow the instructions onscreen.
