Each year, the Propeller Club, Port of Norfolk, with our fellow clubs across the country, celebrates National Maritime Day. Established by Congress in 1933, National Maritime Day honors the work and contributions of past Merchant Seamen who endured the perils of the sea during times of war and peace, and celebrates and recognizes those who proudly carry on that tradition today.
This year’s commemorative event, which will be held from 4:00 to 7:00 pm on Thursday, May 22 at the Elizabeth River Pavilion, located behind Nauticus and the Half Moone Cruise and Celebration Center, will include the laying of a memorial wreath and an informal reception with live music, hors d’oeuvres and cocktails.
We look forward to seeing you!
