The  European Maritime Heritage EMH is a non-governmental organization for private owners of traditional ships, as well as for maritime museums and other interested bodies 


The objectives of the EMH exclude any pursuit of profit, and are:

  • to encourage mutual cooperation between the extensive community of organizations in Europe, including museums, involved in keeping maritime heritage alive

  • to act as a conduit for the flow of advice and assistance between such organizations

  • to contribute to the mutual understanding of different maritime cultures and increase public awareness of those cultures, by organizing a triennial congress

  • to identify and promote historic water-borne links between European regions, publicizing the role waterways as a cultural bridge between the nations

  • to study and resolve common problems identified in the course of preserving and operating traditional craft in Europe

  • to provide official organizations of the European Union with a representative and consultative service on all aspects of preserving and operating historic boats and vessels.
