NMHS Legacy Society Each one of us can make a difference. Together, we make change. — Senator Barbara Mikulski, 2015 NMHS Distinguished Service Award recipient Since our founding in 1963, the National Maritime Historical Society has striven to tell the stories, great and small, near and far, that make up the broad panorama of our maritime history. Over the last six decades, hundreds of thousands of readers have discovered in the pages of Sea History magazine a treasure-trove of stories that captivate, connect and enlighten us all about the vital role of our seas, rivers, lakes and bays, and those who have plied upon them. The lessons that our maritime heritage can teach—courage, ingenuity, self-reliance, and grit—are timeless. It is more important than ever to bring these lessons to young people—tomorrow’s maritime leaders. Now you can create a legacy for the next generation of sea service men and women, marine biologists and science teachers, maritime librarians and museum curators, shipwrights and preservationists, marine artists and musicians, ocean racers and tugboat captains, history teachers and writers—to ensure our maritime history is not lost.
Help NMHS keep history alive! Making a legacy gift to the Society is a deeply personal and transformative way to support our lifelong work, helping us to prepare for the future while bolstering the work we do now for our maritime heritage. Including the National Maritime Historical Society in your will or living trust is one of the most effective ways to provide for the Society’s future while retaining assets during your lifetime. No matter the size of your gift, you’ll be playing an important role in preserving our shared maritime heritage and inspiring future generations. We are happy to assist as you consider a planned gift to NMHS. Please visit us at www.seahistory.org/ plannedgiving, email plannedgiving@seahistory.org, or call us (914) 737-7878 Ext. 0 for more information.
