The history of the American Mariner and the contributions of men and women from various races, creeds, and ethnicities, including Frederick Douglas, Robert Smalls, and the contribution of Filipino sailors.
For over three hundred years the world came to America by ship and continues with millions of tons of cargo arriving every day. American ports served as the front door to the world. We tell little-known stories about the men and women who shaped our history and life today. The American Mariner stories told port by port paint an astonishing examination of the true American character composed of all races, creeds, and ethnicities. Beneath the icons, PR, and privilege lives a dynamic maritime industry steeped in diversity, equality, ingenuity, energy, and an unbounded desire for freedom. The American Mariner’s influence has touched all facets of American life in unusual and profound ways.
