Описание: Island Current – Episode 4: Supporting the Island’s Seafarers

In Episode 4 of Island Current, the official podcast of Isle of Man Maritime, we shine a spotlight on the people working behind the scenes to support those who dedicate their lives to the sea.

Host Capt. Lee Clarke is joined by Nathan Rogers, Honorary Secretary of the King George’s Fund for Sailors (Isle of Man), for an insightful conversation about the Island’s only dedicated maritime charity. Together, they explore the organisation’s proud history, its vital role in supporting seafarers and their families, and the difference it continues to make across the Isle of Man.

From the Tall Ship sponsorship programme and the Woolly Hat Appeal to ship visits, Christmas welfare support, hardship grants and the charity’s role within the newly established Port Welfare Committee, this episode highlights why maritime welfare remains as important today as ever. The discussion also looks to the future, exploring how collaboration, community support and initiatives such as the Seafarer Pledge can strengthen the Island’s commitment to those who keep global trade moving.

Whether you’re part of the maritime industry, a seafarer, or simply interested in the Isle of Man’s rich maritime heritage, this is a fascinating conversation about the people and organisations ensuring that no seafarer is ever forgotten.
