June 25 - International Day of the Seafarer
At the height of summer, on June 25, International Day of the Seafarer is celebrated. It is a professional holiday for the workers of the marine trade fleet... And although he is still relatively young, his popularity is growing every year.
This year, the Seaman's Day is celebrated only for the eleventh time. It was established in 2010 during a conference by the International Maritime Organization in the capital of the Philippines, Manila, where its participants signed a relevant document.
The work of a seaman is very important, because sea transportation plays a huge role in the economy of our country and in ensuring world trade.
There has always been a special attitude to the maritime profession, it is surrounded by some kind of aura of romance. Many boys at all times dreamed of becoming real sea wolves, and sailors, even if in the military or in the merchant fleet, have always enjoyed constant success with women. But for this, those who gave themselves to the difficult sea business pay a high price, because often they are not at home for a long time, they do not see their relatives.
Usually, on June 25, the management awards the most distinguished merchant marine workers with prizes, certificates of honor and valuable gifts. And at the end of the day, those of them who are not busy at work have a feast in the evening.
And although officially the Sailor's Day is not a day off, this does not prevent us from congratulating everyone whose activities are related to the sea. The editorial board of Voenniy Obozreniye wishes everyone who is related to the Navy a calm sea, clear skies, health and prosperity.
Happy holiday, dear sailors!
