Steamboat Bill - Magazine

The Steamship Historical Society’s quarterly illustrated journal, Steamboat Bill, has been published continuously since 1940. Each issue of over 80 pages contains original authoritative articles about steamships and other vessels past and present. In addition, there are regular regional and overseas reports about the present-day shipping and cruising scene, lively reviews of the latest and best maritime books, and an advertising section. The “Captains Log” gives members an opportunity to add their own special knowledge to the magazine’s feature stories and regional columns.

The pages are filled with dozens of color, black & white, and sepia-toned photographs.
