Merchant Navy Day Australia wide,
3 Sep 2011
Share Print
The first ever Merchant Navy day, on the 3rd of September was in 2000, was a commemoration of the service of merchant seafarers in the first and second world wars - a service that was (for the most part)
utterly unrecognised.
All seafarers and their families are warmly invited and encouraged to join the Maritime Union in celebrating Merchant Navy Day. Please get in touch with your local branch or see details below.
South Australia:
Meet 11am outside the Port Information Centre, then proceed to the Navigator Memorial to honour those that sailed in the merchant navy.
