National Merchant Navy Day March
With it's rich maritime history, it is fitting that Port Adelaide will celebrate Australia's first national Merchant Navy Day on Wednesday September 3 in nautical style. All families with links to the sea are being invited to assemble for the Merchant Navy Day Community Commemorative March at the Seafarers Centre at 11am that day.
The day also marks the birthday of the Maritime Museum merchant vessel Nelcebee which is featured on the banner for the lighthouse.
The march will start at Fisherman's Wharf Markets and go along the wharf to the back of the old Ports Building.
Serving and former merchant seaman, their families, the Maritime Union of Australia and other maritime groups will march behind a Royal Australian Navy (RAN) contingent.
The march will conclude with a special commemoration at the superb Navigator memorial to lost seafarers by local sculptor Karen Genoff.
New Port Adelaide Chaplin Reverand Roger Trebilcock will conduct a service and a light lunch will be served.
