Powerships

PowershipsAs a contributing member and passionate advocate of the Steamship Historical Society, I have been a subscriber to this magazine for years. Powerships is a conduit from the minds and hearts and workdesks of many experts, some amateur, some professional, all of them enlightening. The quality of the information is very high as most of the articles are written by people who really love this type of thing and know a lot about it for the enjoyment of actually reasearching the information and the pleasure of writing about it to let the world know how interesting it is. Therefore, you don't get any commercial fluff, just well written, unbiased information in your quest to learn more about steamships. On the same note, even the advertisements are very useful and the magazine subscription is worth buying for those alone which will often alert the enthusiast to interesting events, conventions or new books. The underlying theme is that much of the knowledge is not common and it does not google well, so Powerships grants the reader information that would otherwise not be easy to find and keeps a pulse on the greater community of Steamship afficionados. Along with Warship International, I always look forward to this magazine arriving in my mailbox and I am glad to see that SSHSA has put this online for the world to discover this wonderful publication and the benefits of membership.

I have been receiving PowerShips and it's predecessor journal, Steamboat Bill, for over 40 years. I look forward to every issue. The magazine covers all types of engine-powered vessels, from the great liners to tug boats and work boats. The in-depth articles are uncannily accurate and richly illustrated. The regional columns are a very interesting way of keeping up with shipping events in different parts of the country. OUTSTANDING JOB, Steamship Historical Society of America. Keep up the good work!
