We dedicate this site to the Merchant Mariners whom, through their sacrifice during WW1 and WW2, ensured our continued freedom. Let us never forget the price of liberty, and always remember those who voluntarily paid our dues with their blood. We also honor the seafarers whose lives have been lost at sea during peacetime.
Nobody knows the perils of the ocean without facing it's fury and ferocity.
In society at large, when faced with adversity, many seek to escape the tempest in any way possible, sacrificing their own integrity and people around them to save themselves. On the ocean there is nowhere to run, nowhere to hide. By the very nature of an ocean's vastness and solitude, a person's charachter is inevitably exposed in the knowledge that when faced with disaster, your shipmates depend on you as you do on them. The sacrifices made by mariners and their families are counted in months and years away from loved ones. Time can never be re-captured, each precious moment is deducted from the total sum of life itself.
