CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — National Maritime Day is Saturday, May 22 and the Port of Corpus Christi is celebrating the entire month.
The United States holiday was created to recognize the maritime industry and the role it played in moving the country forward. On May 22, 1819, the American steamship Savannah set sail from Savannah, Georgia on the first-ever transoceanic voyage under steam power. The holiday was created by the United States Congress on May 20, 1933 to pay tribute to that voyage.
