Did you eat a banana with your breakfast this morning? Have you enjoyed a cup of tea or coffee today? Did you drive to church or work? Do you realise that these and countless other activities we take for granted would be impossible were it not for an international community of seafarers who deliver these goods and products to our shores? In fact, 95 per cent of the goods and products we consume are brought to Britain by sea. This figure surprises many people. It demonstrates that we need seafarers. Sea Sunday, which we celebrate this Sunday, is our opportunity to give them something back.
