INTRODUCTION

THE MARINE SOCIETY OF THE CITY OF NEW YORK 2
The initial accession of records took place in 1969 when the Minute Books, Journals
of the Proceedings and the Treasurer’s Accounts were deposited in the Maritime College
Archives. In 1975 a second group was accessioned. These records consisted of Allotment
and Cash Books, Membership Dues Books and Minutes, from May 10, 1948 to December 13,
1954. There were also accounts of Marine Society members compiled by Nelson Proctor,
several Society Certificates and an old copy of the By-laws (1811). Also included were
Records of the Retreat Property, receipts from chartered cruises taken from 1909-1913 and
photographs of members (c.1950’s) as well as copies of the Marine Society Charter. Audits
by the Horace S. Ely and Company were a part of the financial records.

THE MARINE SOCIETY OF THE CITY OF NEW YORK 3
In November 1769, thirty-two people met in the Exchange Building to discuss the
formation of a society to provide relief for distressed ship masters, or their widows and
children, and to promote maritime knowledge. A committee was appointed to draw up
articles. These were adopted and served as the basis of the charter granted by King George III
for “The Marine Society of the City of New York in the Province of New York in America”,
incorporated in April 1770. Membership quickly grew.
During the Revolutionary War, members sided with both camps; loyalist groups aided
English troops in the defense of New York City and the Sons of Liberty counted many Marine
Society members in its ranks. In 1786, by Act of Legislature, the Society became “The
Marine Society of the City of New York, in the State of New York”. Membership was not
limited to masters of vessels, but included merchants, attorneys and many other prominent
individuals with an interest in maritime affairs. Such members included Alexander Hamilton,
John Marshall and Leonard Lispenard, first Presidents of the Society. In 1783, George
Washington and De Witt Clinton became Honorary Members.
While the Society diligently carried out its charitable obligations, it also fulfilled its
other purpose, that of furthering maritime knowledge. There were petitions for lighthouses
along the coast and the placement of buoys in the channels, tests on the durability of various
woods used in ship building, and the examination of new charts to determine their accuracy.
In 1873, the Marine Society petitioned the New York State Legislature for a school to train
officers in the Merchant Marine and helped to bring about the establishment of the New York
Nautical School aboard the ST. MARY’S. Today that school is the Maritime College, whose
archives serve as repository for Marine Society records. During both world conflicts, Society
members served as masters of troop and cargo vessels and in the War Shipping
Administration which controlled all merchant shipping.
Members also serve actively in other charitable Marine Societies. In 1801, Capt.
Robert Richard Randall established the Sailors’ Snug Harbor in his will. This institution
provides free care for old or disabled seamen. The President and Vice-President of the
Marine Society serve, by office, as members of its Board of Trustees. In 1854 the Marine
Society founded the Mariner’s Family Home on Staten Island, which provides for the wives
or relatives of seamen.

THE MARINE SOCIETY OF THE CITY OF NEW YORK 4
“Retreat Property”, mentioned often in Society records, has a long history. Briefly, in
1784, the State of New York passed an Act to establish a quarantine hospital for the Port of
New York. Funds accumulated from a tax paid by every passenger and seaman entering the
Port. Thirty acres of land were bought on Staten Island and a small hospital was built. Open
from June to October, it was used only for persons entering the United States who were
suffering from infectious diseases. The cost of maintaining the hospital was small, but the
receipts from the tax were so large, that by 1831, there was a credit balance of $341,000.
Since a large part of this tax was paid by seamen who received little or no benefit from the
hospital, another Act was passed, allowing the tax collected from the seamen to be paid into a
special account called “The Seamen’s Fund and Retreat”. This fund was administered by a
Board of Trustees, including the President of the Marine Society. Thirty-five acres was
purchased on Staten Island and in 1853 a hospital was built. Known as the Seaman’s
Retreat”, it cared for sick and disabled seamen and was the first of its kind in this port.
In 1851, the State Legislature directed that the Trustees of the Seaman’s Fund give six
acres of Retreat Property and $10,000 to establish the Mariner’s Family Asylum, and in
addition, to allot annual sums for its upkeep. Other monies from the Fund were allocated to
support charities not connected with seamen. When the Fund eventually ran out, the Marine
Society sought the help of the Federal Government to provide facilities for the care of sick
and disabled seamen. It recommended that while the title of the Retreat property remain in
the Marine Society, the property should be sold, proceeds of this sale to be divided between
the Mariner’s Family Asylum, the Society for the Relief of Destitute Children of Seamen and
the Marine Society.
In 1882, the State Legislature passed a law which vested title to the Retreat Property in
the Marine Society. The following year, the Society leased the property to the Marine
Hospital Service. Although United States officials were willing to establish a Federal Marine
Hospital on the property, efforts were blocked by local residents and twenty years passed
before favorable legislation was enacted in 1903. Then, the Federal Government bought all
but five acres for $300,000 and established a fine Marine Hospital. The money was shared by
the groups mentioned above. In 1931 the remaining five acres was sold to the government
and the proceeds shared once more.
Today, the Marine Society continues to be a thriving Society, dedicated to the
founding principles set forth in its charter over two hundred years ago.
