⚓ MERCHANT NAVY DAY — 3 SEPTEMBER 2026 ⚓
Today, the Mission to Seafarers Hobart Station proudly recognises merchant seafarers — past and present — from all nations. 🌏🚢
Every day, thousands of men and women leave their homes and families to work at sea, carrying the food, fuel, medicines, machinery and countless other goods that keep our world moving.
Their work is often unseen, but their contribution is enormous.
Behind every ship is a crew. Behind every crew are families waiting at home. And behind every voyage are people who deserve our respect, appreciation and support.
Today we remember those who have served at sea, honour those who continue to do so, and recognise the sacrifices made by seafarers and their families around the world.
From all of us at the Mission to Seafarers Hobart Station:
Thank you to every merchant seafarer. ❤️⚓
Wherever you come from, whatever your rank, and wherever your ship is sailing — you are valued, you are respected, and you are never forgotten.
🌏 Fair winds and following seas.
