The Puget Sound Maritime Historical Society, was founded in 1948 by Joe D. Williamson, James A. Gibbs, Jr., Austen D. Hemion, Thomas E.

The board, officers, and key staff are volunteer positions.



Partnership and Collections


The society has a partnership with the Museum of History and Industry (MOHAI), which they have maintained for over 50 years. They collaborate on both short and long term exhibits open to the public. They also collaborate on public programming oriented toward the PSMHS audience and share storage and exhibit space. They are currently involved in the planning for new exhibit galleries at the South Lake Union Armory Building, which is being renovated with a presumed opening date in 2012.
