Serving Mariners and the Newport Community for Over 105 years
Founded in 1919, Seamen’s Church Institute has been a vital sanctuary for those working at sea and along the waterfront, with its iconic Georgian-style building, designed by Frederick Rhinelander King and funded in 1930, being a landmark listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Open year-round, it serves around 50,000 visitors annually, from sea captains to community members in need.
