MARAD Honors Merchant Mariners in 9/11 Tribute
The Department of Transportation’s Maritime Administration (MARAD) has produced a video honoring the actions of Merchant Mariners during the evacuation of Lower Manhattan on September 11, 2001. The video, Rescue at Water’s Edge, features brief interviews with various individuals involved in the response. The Staten Island Ferry, which played a vital role in evacuating tens of thousands of individuals despite challenging navigational and operational circumstances, is featured prominently in the video.
