About the Society

In April 1971, the World Ship Society, finding it increasingly difficult under its charter to maintain the MASTER, turned her over to a newly formed group called the Society for the Preservation of the Steam Towboat Master (in May, 1985, the name was changed to the 'S.S. Master Society'), who have been her exclusive owners and operators ever since.

Many thousands of hours are put in each year to maintain her in a condition good enough to pass her obligatory annual Canadian Ship Inspection, and thanks to her faithful volunteer crew, she always passes with flying colours.

Much refurbishing and maintenance remains to be done. If you can swing a wrench, or a paint brush, or even spin a good yarn, the Master needs your help.
