This is the home of a local branch of a nationwide association for people from the Navy and the Marine Home Guard, the merchant fleet and offshore work, and anyone interested in maritime history. The branch is based at Marinestuen on the island of Nyholm in Copenhagen and was founded in 1913.
There are lectures, fellowship evenings, monthly Saturday lunches and a julefrokost, the traditional Christmas lunch. For meals you register with the steward before a deadline, and on meeting and lecture evenings Marinestuen opens at 4 pm for socialising. On 24 December a wreath is laid at the memorial anchor for war sailors, followed by a Christmas service at Holmens Kirke.
