The Royal Ark Mariners is a Masonic degree linked to the Mark Master Masons, based on the biblical story of Noah and the Ark. Formally organized in the 18th century, it emphasizes faith, perseverance, and salvation. Overseen by the Grand Lodge of Mark Master Masons, membership is restricted to Mark Master Masons. Its rituals center on the Ark and the Great Flood, reinforcing moral and spiritual teachings within Freemasonry.
