Merchant Navy Day 2017, September 3, Every Year.
Members of both the Merchant Navy Association Wales and of Barry branch attended
the Merchant Navy Day Service of Remembrance at Swansea.
Epitaph.
When the Master holds judgement
And the Devil's dark angels have flown,
When the Clerk of the Heavenly Council
Decrees that the names shall be shown-
They will stand out in glittering letters
Inscribed with blood they have shed:
- Names of Ships -
And the Seamen who manned them,
Then the Oceans can give up its dead.
Anonymous.
Let us remember those that go down in ships, some never to return, those lost at sea in war, accident or tragedy whilst serving the needs of our common life: for those whose memory we treasure, and for those who mourn the loss of loved ones.
