National Maritime Day is May 22. It’s a small but important holiday recognizing the hard work that goes into a career at sea. Alaska is home to thousands of mariners, including fishermen, navigators, maintenance specialists and law enforcement.
KUCB’s Andy Lusk linked up with some local maritime professionals to hear about their experiences in the industry. This audio postcard features some of those interviews.
