My brother retired as a Captain.

In my ten years in the maritime environment, I've met exactly 2 American Captains (crews as well). Did your brother go to foreign ports or just domestic (I assume he's American).

NY To Foreign Ports....He's gone around the world at least twice.

My dad was a telegraph operator in the Merchant Marines during WWII. He was in France on D-Day. I did manage to find out the name/specs/routes of all his ships when I visited the Maritime Museum in Va. in 1988.
