Toronto Marine Historical Society

Established in 1968 to preserve the historical record of Great Lakes ships.

S.S. Trillium is celebrating 100 years of service in 2010. In recognition, the speaker at the our Annual Dinner Meeting on May 15 was Gordon Champion, the engineer in charge of her restoration 35 years ago. 

Are you familiar with the tug Camel?  You would have found out at the April quiz prepared by Capt. Gerry Ouderkirk and Capt. Bill Breaker.

C.C.G.S. Grenville anchored off Main Duck Island, Lake Ontario from the Willis Metcalfe collection. The March meeting was a tribute to Willis. 

We are passionate about Great Lakes ships and the role they have played and continue to play in shaping the growth of Canada.

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
