September 2021
Today, Friday 3rd September, is Merchant Navy Day when we remember and honour all those Merchant Seafarers who lost their lives at sea in conflict and in peace time, and to thank those who continue to work providing us with essential supplies and supporting our island life.
The Maritime Authority is proud to fly the Red Ensign today on Victory Green, alongside the Falkland Islands flag, to show our support for the hard working men and women at sea.
The Deputy Governor of the Falkland Islands, Dave Morgan, and the Chief Executive Officer of the Falkland Islands Government, Andy Keeling, joined the Harbour Master, Captain Jo Cox, in hoisting the flags.
