The International Steamboat Society was conceived and initiated in 1984 for the purpose of forming a link and a means of communication for the many steamboat enthusiasts throughout the world. The word "steamboat" as used here means any steam-powered, generally non-commercial water-craft: canoe, dinghy, launch, model, paddlewheeler, replica, tug, yacht, etc. The Society is open to anyone who owns, will own, has owned, or simply has an interest in steamboats.
