America Celebrates National Maritime Day
On Tuesday, maritime organizations across America celebrated National Maritime Day, a time to remember those who have served at sea and a time to think of the industry s future. From coast to coast, port authorities, shipowners, regulators, unions and individual mariners took time to recognize the merchant marine s contributions to America s economy and security.
In 1933, Congress dedicated May 22 as National Maritime Day to commemorate the American steam/sailing ship Savannah s successful transatlantic voyage, the first of its kind using steam propulsion. The day has since evolved into an opportunity to recognize all American mariners, especially those who have given their lives for their country.Posted On:23-May-2018
