Liberty Pride makes 1st U.S. port call (10/8)

The Liberty Pride, one of the newest additions to the Seafarers-contracted fleet, made its first stop at a U.S. port when the Liberty Maritime Corporation car carrier docked in Baltimore on Oct. 5.

Although the ship only stayed there for a few hours before heading south, SIU Vice President Contracts George Tricker and SIU Baltimore Port Agent Elizabeth Brown met with the SIU crew aboard the vessel. Additionally, unlicensed apprentices from the union-affiliated Paul Hall Center for Maritime Training and Education travelled from the Piney Point, Md., campus and toured the new ship.

Below are some photos from that day.
