24.01.2022 Brigit Thomas - Detained The pandemic has disrupted has created logistical barriers making difficult conditions worse for seafarers.

22.01.2022 The Memorial Chapel of St Peter at The Mission to Seafarers - Victoria stands as a tribute to the honoured memory of the officers and men of the Mercantile Marine ( #MerchantNavy )who lost their lives in the Great War. #RemembranceDay20 #VictoriaRemembers #RedtoRemember #lestweforget Note that the building was erected to commemorate fallen Mercantile Mariners in WWI before the war was concluded. The war and death toll thus far was significant enough at this point that it was... having a serious impact on Australian society. The Chapel is open today for reflection. #Sefarers #Sailors #MerchantMariners #Shipping #WWI #WW1
