Prior to National Maritime Day on May 22, an annual event in Baltimore included tours of historic ships and a ceremony onboard the N/S Savannah. Vane Brothers was proud to have a tug among the participating vessels. #NationalMaritimeDay #JohnWBrown #NSSavannah #BaltimorePortAlliance #TheVaneBrothersCompany #Tugboat

Vane Brothers was proud to be among the sponsors of the May 14 "Legacy & Horizons" ceremony, featuring a rededication of the PRIDE OF BALTIMORE II and a memorial observance marking 40 years since the loss of the original PRIDE OF BALTIMORE. Vane Brothers Regional Health-Safety-Environmental Manager Matt Frank, a former Deckhand aboard PRIDE II, was among the attendees at the event, which featured remarks by Capt. Jan Miles (Exec. Dir. of PRIDE II) and Scott Jeffrey, who was a crewmember on the PRIDE in May 1986. A memorial wreath was placed in the water in remembrance of the four PRIDE crewmembers lost. #PrideOfBaltimoreII #BaltimoreGoodwillAmbassador #ClipperShip #EightBells #TheVaneBrothersCompany

Vane Brothers Health-Safety-Environmental Manager John Shkor joined other Port of Baltimore participants supporting the @chesapeakebayfoundation by planting juvenile oysters (known as spat) this morning at a sanctuary reef alongside Fort Carroll. The group planted approximately 19,000 oysters, with more than 8,000 of them having been grown in cages alongside Vane Brothers' HQ. #savethebay #chesapeakebay #oysterplanting #thevanebrotherscompany
