Administrative history
It came into being in 1938 and until recently it operated from the Jewish Maritime League Centre in Cape Town.
Organised on non-partisan lines the membership of the League is open to all. In 1966 the League established the Jewish Maritme League Fund to co-ordinate the operation of bursaries provided by private individuals. These bursaries operate in perpetuity as the capital is invested and only the interest is used. The purpose of the bursaries is to enable deserving Israeli and South African youths to pursue a nautical career in Israel.
