The Atlantic Sail has been honored for the first time with a Blue pennant for its one-year participation.  The Atlantic Star will be honored with the Gold pennant award on her fifth consecutive year of eligibility for the year 2022.

“We are thankful for your active participation as we celebrate 64 years of saving lives at sea. The previous year has been one like no other. You, the seafarer, have earned this recognition for ensuring goods were delivered to a world that needed them.  Ships from your company joined those from hundreds of nations in providing a worldwide safety network to assist search and rescue coordinators in responding to emergencies at sea.  You should take pride in the voluntary commitment of your officers and crews to the safety of life at sea,” commented Benjamin M.
