May 22 is National Maritime Day in the United States. It was designated as such by the US Congress in 1933 to commemorate the first successful transatlantic voyage by a US steam-powered vessel, the Savannah, in 1819. It recognizes the importance of the maritime industry to the country.

The theme for this year is Navigating the Future! Safety First.

Mahalo nui loa to all of our merchant mariners!
