World Ship Society
The World Ship Society (WSS) is an international society devoted to maritime and naval history. Founded in 1946 as Ship News Club in order to distribute shipping information to correspondents, the society now has thousands of members in dozens of branches across the world. It publishes the monthly magazine ''Marine News'' and the quarterly magazine ''Warships'' for its membership.
==History==
In 1946 Michael Crowdy started a mailing list in the United Kingdom. In order to share a growing amount of information as regards ships, Crowdy founded the Ships News Club and published two news lists covering all ships in alphabetical order. These two lists, published in 1947, are acknowledged by the WSS to be the first two editions of the ''Marine News''.
From 50 Correspondents at the start of 1947, by the end of the year members of the Ship News Club numbered 200 and 330 in July 1948. Notable amongst its early members were the then editor of Jane's Fighting Ships, Francis McMurtrie, and former editor and noted naval historian Oscar Parkes. By February, 1949 there were members across Europe and as far away as New Zealand.
The club's first annual general meeting was held on 23 September 1949 aboard in London. There it was resolved to change the name of the club to World Ship Society.
