The SIBAA was started in the early 1980's by Don Hubbard to increase the American public's awareness of the art. Worldwide membership since then has increased to over 200. (Now the SIBAA has 500 members). Through the Association, builders find out about one another and share new ideas and techniques. The SIBAA published a quarterly journal - The Bottle Shipwright. It featured articles written by the Association's members on tools, techniques and themselves. The SIBAA held a national conference every two years at different locations around the country. The first took place in 1987 in Boston, Massachusetts, the second in 1989 at the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum in St. Michaels, Maryland and in 1992 and 1994 at the Ships of the Sea Museum in Savannah, Georgia. In addition, an eastern regional conference was held in Maryland in 1995. The 1996 national conference is scheduled for October in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The association ceased operations in March 2016.
