More Leads .... and still more leads
Here are additional leads for this time of year. Although we're happy to bring you
resources about the Great Lakes, we have to regretfully add that things up there aren't
what they used to be. The area is dependent on steel and took a bad hit recently.

A ship can sink for any
number of reasons,
sometimes simple ones
and sometimes complex
ones. What ever the
post-accident root cause
analysis may yield in

basic fundamental
element that is clear is
that steel is denser than
water and that a ship

Job Fairs and Job Expos can work for the right person. A
job fair is a good way to bring together a large turnout. It
should be win-win... economical for the employers because
of the volume of prospective applicants they can draw,
practical for the labor end because you can look for work in
10 companies in one shot, and the hotel makes out on the
deal as well with renting a meeting room. However, most
job fairs are not for employment within the maritime sector.
And some are closed door affairs at schools and colleges.
But, we've spotted a couple that are for the public at large
which we hope could be of value to the right candidate
looking for the right position. Click job fairs and job expos

| Legal IQ What is a crime... and what is this concept of "criminalization" of the commercial mariners conduct? Answer |
New York's Hell Gate is
something many East Coast
mariners wouldn't mind
leaving off their trip. There are
other places in the world that
create the same sentiments.

The Charm of the South They say that home is
where the hearth is... whatever that expression
means. Whether a person is more comfortable living
near the crowds, skyscrapers and subways of the
industrialized and metropolitan Northeast, or near the
rugged beauty and tranquility of the Pacific Northwest,
it's all personal. Some folks might savor the quiet charm
of Southern cities like Charleston or Beaufort, which
are not too far from Yonges Island, home of Stevens
Towing. Off the beaten path of the Intracoastal
Waterway in Eastern South Carolina, this company
posts a number of opportunities on its career page.

It's a funny thing... tugboat design has come such a long way since the traditional harbor tug.
Today's modern tugs offer glazed pilothouses with 360 degree visibility, flush decks and simple
box-like superstructures and can turn on a dime with their sophisticated drive systems.

box-like superstructures and can turn on a dime with their sophisticated drive systems.
The advantages of those attributes are undeniable, but still, there's nothing like the beauty of a
tug from the 50s or 60s. They look like proud ships instead of margarine tubs. This is well
illustrated by the graceful lines of the Kimberly Turecamo.

The Great Lakes are going
through tough times these
days, largely due to the
dependence on the region
for its steel industry. We do

employers who we hope
can be meaningful to our

If things go wrong
and a simple soft
grounding turns into a
stressful event that
leaves mariners
wondering if there will
be an official
investigation, criminal
charges or other
repercussions of what
might have once been
treated as a forgivable
error, each side's
burden of proof in
demonstrating
innocence and
challenging liablity
can become a big
