Ramsgate has a noble sea-faring history and the sailor's church commemorates those engaged in maritime and naval activities. Ramsgate has the only royal harbour in the country. It was awarded this status by George IV. Look out for the Smack Boys' Home next to the church. This was a philanthropic enterprise to take care of the many teenage boys that worked on the smack boats during the months that the boats couldn't be put out to sea.

The Sailors Church was built in the mid 19th century to minister to the the men and boys who fished out of Ramsgate, and to provide accommodation for the fishing apprentices (also known as Smack Boys) and emergency space for shipwrecked sailors. The church itself is essentially rectangular and occupies the ground floor of the three-floor building. The rooms above, and the building next door, originally served as living quarters. The interior of the church is quite plain. The church: Traditionally, the congregation was made up of fishermen and their families, but today it is a community representing the working harbour (mostly pleasure vessels, with a small number of fishing boats), the port and the neighbourhood.
