Happy National Maritime Day! The day has been celebrated in the US since 1933. After World War II US flag shipping accounted for over 40% of the world’s total fleet. Currently the US ranks around 10th in the world by number of ships, placing between Indonesia and Hong Kong.

The US merchant fleet may have shrank but the US is still a great maritime country with a great maritime tradition. What impresses me is how Americans continue to preserve and nourish that tradition.
