Who is the Bristol Merchant Navy Association?

The Merchant Navy Association is a group of retired and serving men and women of the Merchant Navy.

Bristol and District Branch was formed following an inaugural meeting at Avonmouth in May 1996. Its initial and on-going purpose is to raise awareness of the role the Merchant Navy played, and continues to play, in our island nations’ story, especially in time of war with the maintenance of vital supplies of food, fuel, equipment etc.

It has been a long and continuing fight to obtain just recognition for this most dangerous of the civilian services but many things have been achieved including the establishment of a National Merchant Navy Day on the 3rd September every year.
