Merchant Navy Day in 2022

Today is #MerchantNavyDay, a day of remembering the sacrifices of the Merchant Navy, and also of tackling #seablindness. Here are some figures from when Nautilus last surveyed the public on seafarers and the Merchant Navy. https://t.co/pA8MnCxL6A

Today marks Merchant Navy Day. We honour the brave men and women who made many sacrifices during both World Wars, with over 55,000 never to return. The Merchant Navy continues to supply Britain to this day with a staggering 95% of all goods. #MerchantNavyDay https://t.co/GSb5eG8lWY

To celebrate Merchant Navy Day today, 3 September, we flew the Red Ensign at the lookout. This was to honour and remember the sacrifices of the often forgotten and invisible, but very hard-working, Merchant Navy seafarers. https://t.co/u2L5d0wB6M
