The Seven Seas Club of Australia is based in Adelaide – South Australia and is made up of members who have a common interest, friendship and passion for the sea, the sea service and a variety of maritime matters in all forms.
This is reflected in our motto and common aim, which is to:
“Promote and Foster the Comradeship of the Sea”
The Australian chapter of the Seven Seas Club was formed in 1968, on a cold stormy June night, at a meeting in the Feathers Hotel in Burnside, a suburb of Adelaide. There were about 15 men present, who had responded to a small advertisement which appeared in the previous weekend’s newspaper, simply asking for persons interested in “Fostering the Comradeship of the Sea” to attend.
The Club is run by an elected Committee of Management in accordance with the Articles of Incorporation and Standing Orders.
The Baxter & Grimshaw Foundation Inc. superseded the Seven Seas Club Australia Baxter & Grimshaw Trust which was discontinued in 2020. The Foundation was incorporated under the Associations Incorporation Act SA 1985 in April 2020 and was registered as a not-for-profit charity by the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission in July 2020.
