A new marine historical society was formed in the Canadian Soo during the summer months for the purpose of organizing shipping enthusiasts in the area. Another purpose of the Society is to assume the duties of preserving NORGOMA as a floating museum at the Soo. The group will be holding six meetings per year and has already published the first issue of its newsletter. The Society would welcome the support of T.M.H.S. members.

Membership fees will be $5.00 per annum and interested parties should contact the St. Mary's River Marine Society in care of its secretary, Mr. Randy Johnson, 7 Montgomery Avenue, Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, P6B 1M4.

We wish the St. Mary's River Marine Society every success in its efforts.
