Irish America has long been an anchor of the U.S. maritime sector, from the shipyards and tug fleets to the ports powered by generations of Irish skill, grit and leadership. Today, that legacy continues to steer innovation, safety and growth across America’s waterfronts, proving the Irish maritime spirit is as strong as ever.
