Merchant Navy Day – Hobart

Yesterday, Merchant Navy Day was commemorated here in Hobart with a small gathering on the docks to remember and honour the seafarers who have lost their lives at sea while serving aboard ships.

Representatives from TasPorts, local tug operators and retired seafarers gathered to pay their respects, with wreaths laid in memory of those who never returned home.

Dion Dillion represented the Mission to Seafarers Hobart Station at the commemorative gathering.

We acknowledge and remember all those seafarers who have made the ultimate sacrifice while working at sea, and we extend our sincere thanks to all those who continue to serve in the maritime industry.

We remember them, we honour their service, and we thank them. ⚓️🌊❤️

⚓ 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.

Enjoying a nice coffee on the waterfront today while I have Jimmy from the ICS Silver Lining. Jimmy has just flown in to replace the current Chief Engineer who will fly out tomorrow morning. Lovely weather we put on today so that Jimmy can have a wander around the market while he waits for his vessel to arrive at Risdon around 3.30pm this afternoon.

A few weeks ago the crew on the sail ship Windwarde Bound had to dress as pirates for a birthday party booking. Luckily the weather wasn't too bad as they sailed out into the harbour to celebrate. Some photos of some of the regular crew who visit the Mission when they have free time. Thanks to Alice for the pictures. Thankfully nobody was made to walk the plank.

On-signers for the ICS Silver Lining relaxing at the Mission before they start another 4 month contract onboard. Mostly heading between Risdon, Devonport & Port Pirie, the vessel usually calls in to Hobart every few weeks. However, with only 12 crew onboard, they hardly get a chance to come ashore while they are in port.
