March 2025 Newsletter of The John Claggart Society

​Founded in 1891 and with a mission to appreciation the homosocial bonds of sailors and those who appreciate seamen, the JCS publishes an irregular newsletter filled with important Society details and meetings, stories from members, and other salty news.

• All submissions to the Newsletter should be sent to [email protected] with the subject line: JCS Newsletter entry
• Members of JCS who are published in the Newsletter have their membership extended for free until 2028 and receive a one-time fee of $50. Entries should not be more than 4,000 words. We are especially interested in stories about brave men who eye their fellow sailors. Danger and vice are encouraged.
• We are eager to have reviews of books that would be of interest to the Society. Some titles discussed at our last meeting include Order and Disorder in the British Navy, Sodomy and the Pirate Tradition, and Bitter Waters by Chaz Brenchley. If you feel you could review one of these, mindful of our readership, then please email the editor.
