The North American Society for Oceanic History was created by the common agreement of a number of prominent maritime scholars who met in 1971 at the University of Maine. They recognized that in North America there was no forum for maritime history or a society devoted to the study and promotion of maritime history.Encouraged by a little money and a lot of enthusiasm, NASOH officially launched in 1974.
Under the leadership of William A. Baker,, and vice-presidents W.A.B (Alec) Douglas, Jack Kemble , John H. Parry, and Secretary-Treasurer Clark Reynolds, the Society began its annual meetings. The aim of the original group of organizers was to create a diverse organization based initially on Canadian and American membership, which would gain the interest of others. Now there are members worldwide and it is this diversity of membership that continues to make NASOH a truly unique organization.
