We are the Mid-Atlantic Chapter of the Antique and Classic Boat Society. Our chapter was created in 2018 with the merger of the former Philadelphia and Barnegat Bay Chapters. We are a diverse group of people who have a common love of antique and classic boats whether built of wood, fiberglass or aluminum. We believe the preservation, restoration, display and operation is among the greatest pleasures of life. Therefore, the Mid-Atlantic Chapter sponsors a variety of boat shows, cruises and organizes member get-togethers throughout the year.


All members of the A.C.B.S. receive the quarterly “Rudder” magazine, but in addition our chapter publishes a quarterly newsletter “The Nautical Mile”. This is available in digital format three times a year with a Winter printed issue. It which provides additional coverage of national and local events. Our chapter’s six bi-monthly Zoom Meeting are a friendly convenient avenue to gain information on upcoming events and share experiences.
The Antique and Classic Boat Society is best explained by its Mission Statement.
