Membership

Since 1982 the Mariner/Marlin Association has been instrumental in preserving the history of Martin seaplanes by uniting those associated with the aircraft through annual reunions and publications. Membership is open for all to join regardless of affiliation or interest including flight crews, support units, and civilian personnel who flew, crewed or supported Martin seaplanes.

Annual reunions are typically held in April or May and include hospitality room, banquet dinner and local activities. Attendance is limited to members and guests only. Location and dates vary annually.

In addition, annual membership in the Mariner/Marlin Association entitles members to receive four issues of the Newsletter and a copy of the Association Roster, listing over 3,000 members to date. The Newsletter contains articles, pictures, news and other information about Martin seaplanes and related subjects, written primarily by contributing members and organizations affiliated with the aircraft. The first Newsletter for the fiscal year is published in September and contains the following year’s reunion and hotel information. The second issue is published in December and the third in February, which contains annual dues renewal information. The last issue for the fiscal year is published in June following the annual reunion. The Annual Membership Roster is typically published in November.

NEW MEMBERS

Initial enrollment dues are $35.00. Members receive the current year’s roster and newsletters, plus those for the following year. Please complete the Mariner/Marlin Association Membership Application and return it, along with payment to:

RENEWAL MEMBERS
