The Delaware Maritime Hall of Fame is now seeking nominations from the public for 2014. Nomination forms can be obtained at www.overfalls.org.

Deadline for this year's submissions is Saturday, May 31.

Delaware’s watermen, pilots, lifesavers, navigators, tradesmen, environmentalists, businessmen, military personnel, educators, and scientists depend on their proximity to the Delaware Bay and the Atlantic Ocean for their life’s work. Each year, exceptional individuals who have contributed uniquely and generously of skill, energy, heart, and time in building Delaware’s maritime heritage are honored by induction into the Delaware Maritime Hall of Fame.

More information about the nomination process is available from Deb Bonvetti at chrysle@comcast.net or 302-420-5666.
