A seamen's (or seaman's) haven is a social welfare organization for sailors, often operated by Christian churches or missionaries. Havens were most prominent in North American port cities in the 19th and 20th centuries. They gained particularly widespread use in the Great Depression and declined in popularity later in the 20th century. Some havens have provided comprehensive social services such as food and shelter, while others are mainly social organizations.
