By March 16, 2018No Comments

Weems & Plath, one of the nation’s oldest manufacturer of nautical, safety and navigation products, celebrates its 90th anniversary in 2018. 

In 1928, Captain Philip Van Horn Weems and Margaret Thackray Weems opened what was then named Weems System of Navigation. The early days of Weems & Plath were dedicated to navigation and weather instruments. Always with an eye toward innovation, Weems & Plath has continuously added products to its line while staying true to its roots of traditional navigation. Today, the company offers more than 400 products, including a new line dedicated to boating safety.

Over the course of 2018, Weems & Plath will sponsor a trivia contest on their website and will launch a photo contest in the spring asking customers to submit photos of any past or present Weems & Plath products they own Weems & Plath President Peter Trogdon says: “We are very grateful to our customers who have remained loyal and have helped us reach this milestone. I believe that our longevity is due to the fact that our customers know that we love boating and want to create products that will make boating more enjoyable and safe.”
