So, you know how boats and ships are really cool? Well, there are people who spend their whole lives studying and designing them! They're called naval architects and marine engineers.
And the Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers (or SNAME for short) is basically a club for these smart boat people. They all work together to make boats and ships safer, more efficient, and more environmentally friendly.
They have meetings where they talk about all kinds of boat-related stuff, like new designs for big cargo ships or how to make a small sailboat go faster. They even have competitions to see who can come up with the best boat design.
So, if you want to be a super cool boat expert when you grow up, you might want to think about joining SNAME someday!
