摘要

Each fall, the National Maritime Historical Society (NMHS) gathers in the Model Room of the historic New York Yacht Club to honor service to our maritime heritage. Through these gala events, not only do we have the opportunity to spotlight the important work that is being done in the field, but we inspire others to get involved and make a difference. This year, 2015 Dinner Chair George W. Carmany, III invites you to join NMHS in honoring Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal, Princess Anne with the Distinguished Service Award. The NMHS David A. O'Neil Sheet Anchor Award will be presented to our chairman, Ronald L. Oswald. Admiral of the Fleet, The Lord Michael Boyce, KG GCB OBE DL, President of the Royal Navy Submarine Museum and chair of the HMS Victory Preservation Company, will update us on Victory's preservation. America's Ambassador of Sailing, Gary Jobson, will present the award. Award-winning yachtsman and previous recipient of the NMHS Distinguished Service Award Richard T. du Moulin will be master of ceremonies, and the United States Coast Guard Academy Cadet Chorale, directed by Dr. Robert Newton, will provide the evening's entertainment.
