The Maritime

The Maritime is a blog about written by Nathan Menefee. As a LT in the U.S. Coast Guard and a graduate of the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy, the topics Nathan presents are that of his life and his work. He has an unlimited Third Mate’s license, a Qualified Member of the Engine Department (QMED) endorsement, and a Tankerman Dangerous Liquid Person In Charge (PIC DL) endorsement. He’s sailed aboard a variety of ships from container ships, to a tanker, oiler and Coast Guard cutter. The Maritime is his dabble in attempting to consolidate and share what he finds for those who may also possess a similar thirst for adventure…stories…and news from the oceans of the world.
