T.M.H.S. produces The Scanner, now in its 42nd year.  In its news items and historical articles, The Scanner is widely recognized as the premier publication of its kind. All issues summarize important news happenings about shipping on the lakes and feature an extensive historical account of a Ship of the Month.  

We meet monthly from October to May, generally the first Saturday of the month, for informative and entertaining presentations put on by our members.  Meetings are held  at 2:30 pm at Swansea Town Hall,   95 Lavinia Avenue, Toronto.  The exception is our annual dinner meeting held in May, aboard
