The Mission to Seafarers

Aye Aye Captain!

Founded in 1856 and entirely funded by voluntary donations, today's Mission to Seafarers is a registered charity that offers emergency assistance, practical support, and a friendly welcome to crews visiting over 260 ports around the world in 71 countries.

Whether caring for victims of piracy or providing a lifeline to those stranded in foreign ports, they are there for the globe's 1.5 million merchant seafarers of all ranks, nationalities and beliefs.

The Mission to Seafarer's Patron is Her Majesty The Queen and their President is Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal.
