SUMMARY:Speaker Series: "The Global Maritime Industry\, Merchant Ships and How They Make the Global Economy Possible - Part II"
DESCRIPTION:Chatham Marconi Welcomes RADM Christopher J. McMahon to its Speaker Series\n\nFew people in America understand just what the maritime industry is\, nor its main component - the merchant marine\, and few realize how this industry profoundly affects every American every day.  In his 2-part presentation\, RADM Christopher McMahon will provide a detailed look at the industry and the ships which make global trade possible\, with Part II to follow on September 4.  Simply put\, the global economy is completely dependent on the maritime industry.  RADM McMahon will also touch on how Chatham Radio/WCC played a key role in keeping merchant ships in touch with their companies\, the ports which they served\, and how WCC helped ensure that ships and crews remained safe in times of extreme weather and other perils.  \n\n\n\nAbout Our Speaker\n\nCHRISTOPHER McMAHON is a master mariner of steam\, motor and sailing vessels\, having sailed on many merchant ships engaged in world trade\, following graduation from the United States Merchant Marine Academy at Kings Point and later serving there as a professor\, sailing master and deputy superintendent.

He holds graduate degrees from several colleges\, and is an ordained minister.  Reverend McMahon serves as minister of the Unitarian Universalist Meeting House of Chatham.\n\n\n\nAbout Chatham Marconi Maritime Center\n\nFounded in 2002\, the Chatham Marconi Maritime Center is a 501(c)(3) organization whose mission is to preserve and celebrate the history of Chatham Radio/WCC and 20th Century maritime communication through interpretive museum exhibits\, educational programs and community engagement.
