The Seven Seas Club of Australia is based in Adelaide - South Australia and is made up of members who have a common interest and passion for the sea and the varying aspects of maritime matters. This is reflected in our common aim which is to "Promote and Foster the Comradeship of the Sea". Many of our members belong to the local Yacht Clubs, others are serving or ex-professional seafarers, both Merchant Navy and RAN etc., where-as others have not had the opportunity to go to sea, but have a lively interest in the historical and professional advancement of the service.
The SSCA is a non profit organisation and all monies generated by Club activities are used to further one of our aims in making the maritime experience accessible to those who need assistance to realise their ambitions in the field.
This is accomplished through "The Seven Seas Club of Australia Inc. Baxter & Grimshaw Trust" The Club has also made donations to the Sail training vessel "One and All" , Naval Reserve Cadets, Sea Rescue Squadron and Australian Coast Guard. Further methods of advancing the aims of the Trust are presently being explored.
A Club Dinner is held on the third Wednesday of every month at the Public Schools Club Inc. on East Terrace - Adelaide. The form of the dinner is loosely based on a formal Naval Mess Dinner, with the President and Vice President, supervising, at the appropriate times, the Grace, the Passing of the Port, the Loyal Toast and several other toasts perculiar to our Club. A guest speaker is invited to talk on some specialised subject each month. These talks are often of a nautical nature but subjects of general and community interest are also appreciated as well.
