CROFTON Proud to Support National Maritime Day with the Propeller Club

May 23, 2025

We were honored to sponsor and participate in the National Maritime Day celebration hosted by the The Propeller Club, Port of Norfolk.

The evening was a powerful tribute to the men and women who keep our maritime industry strong. From the moving wreath laying ceremony—conducted from the deck of CROFTON’s own Cromo—to the awards recognizing outstanding contributions, the program reflected the deep sense of pride and purpose that defines our community.

Special thanks to Terrell Moses, President of the Propeller Club Port of Norfolk, and to keynote speaker Captain Peggy M. Britton, USCG–Commander, Coast Guard Sector Virginia, for her inspiring remarks and leadership.

National Maritime Day is a meaningful reminder of the legacy we share and the responsibility we carry to keep our waters, ports, and people safe and strong.

What a great day at the Maritime Careers Festival at Nauticus! We loved meeting everyone who stopped by to learn more about CROFTON and the many career paths in marine construction, heavy lift, and commercial diving. Visitors got hands-on with some of our dive equipment and heard firsthand what it’s like to be part of the CROFTON team.

Thanks to everyone who came out — and to Nauticus for hosting such an engaging and inspiring event. The future of maritime looks bright!
