As seafaring evolves, Cayman remains connected to sea
The international maritime community celebrates the Day of the Seafarer this week in honour of the vital work of seafarers in supporting the global economy and local communities.
In Cayman, seafaring is an integral part of the islands’ heritage and history, recognised in the national motto, “He hath founded it upon the seas.”
While Cayman’s relationship with seafaring has evolved, the industry remains essential to Cayman’s connection to the world, facilitating trade and tourism.
“Seafaring is a proud part of Cayman’s heritage,” said Governor Jane Owen, speaking about the Day of the Seafarer, held each 25 June.
