Old travel Blog photograph of the Sailors Rest in Greenock near Glasgow, Scotland. The Sailors Rest Society was formed on 18 March 1818, as the Port of London Society. Following mergers with two other societies, the name was changed to The British and Foreign Sailors’ Society. In 1925 it was changed to The British Sailors’ Society. In 1995 the name was changed to The British and International Sailors’ Society. The Society is an interdenominational charity and has close links with many of the mainstream Protestant Churches in the United Kingdom, such as the Baptist Union, Church of Scotland, United Reformed Church, and the Methodist Church. The charity's head office is in Southampton, England. The Society is international and in addition to its presence in the UK it operates in Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Curaçao, Ghana, Réunion, Russia, India, Indonesia, Madagascar, the Philippines and Ukraine.
