Port Adelaide, South Australia

With its 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 local families with links to the sea are being invited to assemble for the Merchant Navy Day Community Commemorative March at the Seafarers Centre at 11 am that day. 
 
The march will start at Fishermen's Wharf Markets and go along the wharf to the back of the old Ports Building.
 
Serving and former merchant seamen, their families, the Maritime Union of Australia and other maritime groups will march behind a Royal Australian Navy contingent.
 
The march will conclude with a special commemoration at the superb Navigator memorial to Lost Seafarers by local sculptor Karen Genoff.
 

A service will be conducted by new Port Adelaide Chaplain Rev Roger Trebilcock and a light lunch will be served.
